A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Curves are broad and even, with minimal contrast and a steady, monoline feel that keeps strokes visually uniform across the set. Counters are generously open for the weight, terminals are clean and mostly flat, and the overall rhythm is compact and sturdy. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, producing dense, high-impact text color; numerals follow the same robust, rounded geometry for a cohesive set.
Best suited for attention-first applications such as headlines, display typography, branding marks, packaging panels, and clear wayfinding or signage. It also works well in short UI labels and callouts where a strong, friendly emphasis is desired, while longer passages benefit from generous tracking and leading due to the dense weight.
The tone is bold and straightforward, balancing approachability with a strong, assertive presence. Its softened geometry keeps it from feeling harsh, giving it a contemporary, energetic voice that reads as practical and upbeat.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, contemporary geometry—combining stout strokes and open counters with rounded-rectangle curves to stay legible and approachable at large sizes.
Round forms lean toward squarish superellipse shapes rather than perfect circles, which adds a distinctly engineered, UI-like feel. In paragraphs the weight creates a solid typographic block, making it most effective when paired with ample spacing and clear hierarchy.
