A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and smoothly squared curves. Strokes are monolinear with tight apertures and firm, straight-sided counters that keep letters sturdy at large and medium sizes. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with consistent corner rounding that softens the overall texture without becoming playful. The proportions feel slightly condensed in some forms, and the rhythm is even, producing a dense, graphic word color in the sample text.
Best suited for headlines, short text blocks, and interface labeling where a strong, compact sans is needed with softened geometry. It can also work well for signage and packaging that benefits from high-impact letterforms and a stable, contemporary texture.
The tone reads contemporary and dependable, combining a friendly softness from the rounded geometry with an assertive, no-nonsense presence. It feels at home in practical, modern interfaces and branding that wants approachability without losing authority.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans with rounded-square forms that improve approachability while preserving clarity and structural firmness. It prioritizes consistent geometry and a dense, even rhythm for reliable display and UI use.
Round letters (like O/C/G) lean toward superelliptical shapes, giving the face a distinctive squared-round silhouette. Diacritics aren’t shown; numerals are straightforward and tabular-looking in weight and presence, suited to clear emphasis alongside text.
