A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical construction: bowls and counters lean toward rounded-rectangle shapes, while joins and terminals stay clean and blunt. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, giving the letters a dense, even color. Apertures are relatively tight and counters are compact, especially in letters like e, a, and s, which boosts impact at display sizes. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a sturdy t with a broad top, while figures are similarly robust with simplified curves and squared-off interiors.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where strong presence and quick recognition matter. The rounded geometry makes it useful for packaging, badges, and signage that needs to feel inviting without losing impact. In longer passages it will likely work best at larger sizes with generous line spacing due to its dense, tight counters.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining soft corners with assertive weight for a friendly-but-forceful voice. It reads as contemporary and energetic, with a utilitarian straightforwardness that can feel sporty or street-level depending on color and layout.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a softened geometric voice—combining a compact, heavyweight build with rounded-rectangle forms for a modern, approachable display style.
Spacing appears slightly compact for the amount of weight, producing a tight rhythm that emphasizes blocks of text rather than delicate word shapes. Round letters (O/C/G) keep a squared silhouette, reinforcing a geometric, engineered feel rather than a purely circular one.
