This typeface is a heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves are broad and smooth, corners are noticeably softened, and strokes maintain an even, low-contrast weight. Proportions lean compact with generous counters for the weight, and the joins and terminals read clean and engineered rather than calligraphic. Round letters like O/C/G feel more squarish than circular, while straight-sided forms (E/F/H/N) keep a firm, stable stance. Numerals are solid and clear, matching the same rounded, blocklike geometry.
Best suited to display applications where strong presence and clarity are needed, such as headlines, brand marks, packaging, posters, and wayfinding. It also works well for short UI labels or calls to action when a bold, friendly geometric voice is desired, though its heft is most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is modern and confident, with a friendly edge created by the rounded corners and open interiors. It feels straightforward and functional, but with enough softness to avoid looking harsh or overly technical. The weight and compactness give it a punchy, attention-forward presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, modern sans built on superelliptical geometry—balancing firmness and legibility with softened corners for approachability. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent construction for impactful, repeatable use across branding and display contexts.
The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, reinforcing the geometric, contemporary voice. Curved forms remain consistently squarish across the set, creating a cohesive rhythm and a strong, recognizable silhouette in headlines.
