A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly even stroke weight. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls with softened corners, while straight strokes remain firm and vertical, producing a stable, compact rhythm. Counters are relatively open for the weight, terminals are clean and blunt, and joins are straightforward, keeping forms simple and robust. The numerals and capitals read as tightly engineered, with consistent proportions and a no-nonsense silhouette.
Well suited to branding and display typography where a strong, contemporary voice is needed, such as headlines, posters, and logotypes. The sturdy, rounded geometry also works effectively for signage and UI labels where clear shapes and a confident weight help maintain presence across varying backgrounds.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, balancing a friendly roundness with a confident, workmanlike presence. Its solid color and restrained detailing give it a pragmatic, contemporary feel rather than a playful or decorative one.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly legible, modern sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry—aiming for warmth without sacrificing solidity. It prioritizes consistent, simplified letterforms and an even typographic color for dependable use in graphic applications.
Wide, rounded bowls (notably in O/C/G and lower-case round letters) reinforce the superelliptical theme, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are thick and assertive, emphasizing a strong graphic footprint. At larger sizes the uniformity and softened corners become a defining stylistic cue.
