A heavy, geometric sans with superelliptic curves and broadly squared counters. Strokes are uniform with minimal contrast, and terminals are mostly flat, producing a compact, sturdy silhouette. Round letters like O, C, and G read as rounded-rectangle forms, while joins in shapes such as M, N, and W stay crisp and angular. The lowercase is compact with straightforward construction and relatively closed apertures, supporting dense setting and strong word shapes.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text where a firm, contemporary voice is needed—headlines, posters, logos, and brand systems. The dense, sturdy forms also work well for UI labels, navigation, and wayfinding where punch and clarity matter at a glance.
The overall tone is modern and no-nonsense, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded-rectangle geometry. It feels confident and direct, prioritizing clarity and impact over delicacy.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, modern sans impression through superelliptic geometry, balancing hard structure with softened corners. Its consistent stroke weight and compact proportions suggest an intention to perform reliably across prominent typographic roles while maintaining a distinctive, squared-round personality.
The design’s squarish bowls and tight apertures emphasize a strong, uniform texture on the line. Numerals appear sturdy and highly legible, matching the same superelliptic rhythm as the letters for a cohesive, system-like feel.
