A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with broad counters and a steady, even rhythm that keeps text blocks dark and cohesive. Curves feel superelliptical rather than circular, and many joins and terminals resolve with blunt, squared-off endings that add structure. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy forms with minimal modulation, while figures are wide and weighty, designed to hold up at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and brand systems where a strong, modern voice is needed. It also works well for packaging and signage, where the compact, rounded geometry reads clearly at medium-to-large sizes and maintains a consistent, high-impact color.
The overall tone is friendly and approachable, but assertive—more energetic than neutral. The rounded geometry gives it a contemporary, slightly playful character, while the dense weight and compact proportions keep it confident and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to blend geometric clarity with approachable softness, using superellipse-like curves and sturdy proportions to create a distinctive display sans that remains legible and cohesive in short texts.
The font’s shapes favor stability over delicacy: apertures stay fairly open, and the rounded-square logic is consistent across bowls, shoulders, and numerals, producing a recognizable, branded texture in headlines.
