A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and soft corners throughout. Strokes are uniform and dense, with compact apertures and counters that keep the texture solid at display sizes. Curves are broad and controlled, terminals read clean and blunt, and the overall fit feels slightly tight, producing a strong, even rhythm across lines. Numerals and capitals share the same robust, squared-off roundness, emphasizing clarity and presence.
Works best where strong, clean letterforms are needed at larger sizes: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and clear signage. Its compact, sturdy shapes also suit short UI labels and callouts when a firm visual emphasis is desired.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded geometry. It feels straightforward and practical rather than expressive, delivering a calm, no-nonsense voice suited to prominent messaging.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a modern geometric voice, combining squared proportions with rounded corners for approachability. The emphasis appears to be on bold readability and consistent, system-like forms that hold up in prominent typographic roles.
The design leans on squarish bowls and flattened curves, which increases perceived weight and creates a compact, poster-like color. The consistent rounding helps keep corners from feeling harsh, while the relatively closed forms reinforce a solid, high-impact silhouette.
