A heavy, geometric sans with softened, superellipse-driven curves and corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing solid counters and a compact, sturdy silhouette. Round letters (O, C, G) read as squared-off ovals, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) keep broad, flat terminals. Lowercase shapes are simple and robust, with a single-storey a and g, tight apertures, and short extenders that reinforce a dense, punchy texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging callouts, and wayfinding where bold legibility and strong silhouette matter. It can work for brief subheads or UI labels when sized and spaced to preserve clarity, but its dense texture is less ideal for extended body copy.
The overall tone is confident and approachable: emphatic weight and compact proportions feel assertive, while rounded geometry keeps it friendly rather than severe. It suggests contemporary utility with a slightly playful, athletic energy.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a cohesive rounded-rectangular geometry, balancing strict construction with softened corners. The intent reads as a contemporary display workhorse that stays friendly while remaining forceful and highly legible at larger sizes.
The design leans toward closed forms and sturdy joins, which helps maintain presence at display sizes. In running text the color is dark and uniform, creating strong emphasis but requiring generous spacing or size to avoid crowding in long passages.
