A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with soft corners and broadly curved bowls that read as superelliptical rather than purely circular. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and joins are sturdy, producing a compact, blocky rhythm. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy with single-storey a and g, short extenders, and rounded terminals; figures are similarly wide-footed and solid, prioritizing silhouette clarity over fine interior detail.
Best suited to display roles where impact matters: headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also works well for short UI labels or signage that benefits from rounded friendliness and strong silhouettes, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a punchy, poster-like presence. Its rounded geometry adds warmth and a slightly playful, mid-century/retro flavor while staying clean and contemporary enough for bold branding statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a warm, geometric personality—combining sturdy, rectangular proportions with softened corners for an approachable, modern-display feel.
The most distinctive trait is the consistent squarish-round curvature: bowls, shoulders, and curves share a unified superellipse logic. At smaller sizes the dense counters may start to darken, but at display sizes the lettershapes feel crisp and confident.
