A heavy, geometric sans with a superelliptical construction: round forms read as squared-off ovals with generously rounded corners, and straight strokes end in clean, flat terminals. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with broad verticals and relatively tight counters that keep shapes dense at display sizes. Curves and joins are simplified and consistent, producing a crisp, poster-like rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short-form copy where its dense, rounded geometry can deliver impact without feeling harsh. It works well for branding, packaging, and signage that needs confident legibility, and can also serve as a strong UI or label face when used with ample spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, balancing strength with approachable softness from the rounded-rectangle curves. It feels practical and straightforward, with a slightly playful, friendly edge rather than a sharp or technical chill.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual weight with clean, friendly geometry—prioritizing bold recognition and consistent, rounded-rectangular forms for contemporary display typography.
Capitals appear tall and stable with minimal modulation, while lowercase maintains clear silhouettes and a solid, even color in text lines. The numerals match the same superellipse logic, giving them a cohesive, sign-like presence and strong figure recognition at large sizes.
