A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical construction and broadly squared curves. Strokes are thick and even, with large counters and softly flattened rounds that keep shapes stable at large sizes. Terminals are blunt and clean, and the overall rhythm is compact with tight apertures in letters like C, S, and e. Numerals and capitals read as sturdy and engineered, with consistent weight distribution and minimal modulation.
Best suited to display work where strong weight and rounded geometry can carry a message—headlines, poster typography, bold branding, and attention-grabbing packaging. It also works well for simple signage and UI marketing moments where a friendly but forceful tone is needed.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, balancing friendliness from the rounded geometry with a no-nonsense, industrial solidity. It feels designed for clarity and presence rather than delicacy, projecting a straightforward, confident voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with clean, rounded, geometric forms that reproduce reliably and read quickly. Its superelliptical shapes and blunt terminals suggest a focus on modern brandability and strong, compact typographic color.
The forms lean toward rounded-rectangle outlines, giving bowls (O, D, p, q, 0, 8) a distinctive squarish softness. Diagonals in A, V, W, and X are chunky and stable, and the lowercase shows simple, closed shapes that emphasize legibility and impact in short text.
