A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and generously radiused corners. Strokes are thick and even, producing a solid, compact color, while counters stay relatively open for the weight. Curves are smoothed and squarish rather than purely circular, and joins stay clean with minimal modulation. Proportions feel broad and stable, with simple, utilitarian shapes and minimal terminals that keep the texture consistent across mixed case and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where strong presence and quick recognition are needed, such as posters, brand marks, packaging, and environmental or digital signage. The consistent stroke weight and open counters help it remain legible at medium sizes while still delivering high impact at display scales.
The overall tone is confident and direct, with a friendly edge created by the softened corners. It reads as contemporary and functional rather than delicate or expressive, projecting a dependable, no-nonsense voice suited to clear messaging.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, approachable display voice by combining geometric construction with softened corners. Its emphasis on sturdy strokes and simplified forms suggests an intention to stay highly legible and visually consistent across letters and numerals, especially in bold, attention-getting settings.
The design leans on squarish bowls and rounded corners, giving letters a slightly condensed, “block” presence without appearing narrow. Diagonals (e.g., in V/W/X/Y) feel robust and balanced, and the numerals match the letterforms in weight and roundness for a cohesive set.
