A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle curves and softened corners, giving counters and bowls a superelliptical feel. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and terminals tend to end flat with gentle rounding rather than sharp cuts. Proportions read sturdy and slightly expanded, with broad caps, wide bowls, and compact interior spaces that stay open enough for clarity. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, functional rhythm with single-storey forms and simple joins, while numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry for a cohesive texture in text and UI-like settings.
Best suited for display applications where its weight and rounded-square geometry can read clearly and create impact—headlines, brand marks, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short UI labels and callouts when a sturdy, friendly tone is desired, though long passages may feel dense at small sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable: confident, clean, and slightly playful due to the rounded-square geometry. It feels utilitarian and tech-forward without becoming cold, balancing friendliness with a strong, assertive presence.
Likely designed to deliver a modern geometric voice with softened edges, combining the clarity of a constructed sans with the warmth of rounded corners. The consistent, superelliptical forms suggest an emphasis on cohesive word shapes and a recognizable, contemporary silhouette.
The superelliptical construction is especially evident in rounded letters and digits, where curves transition into straighter segments smoothly. The bold weight creates dense word shapes, making spacing and line breaks feel deliberate and graphic at larger sizes.
