A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) bowls and broadly curved corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing a solid, even texture in words. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, while curves stay controlled and smooth, giving counters a compact, slightly squarish feel. Proportions are straightforward and stable, with a moderate x-height and generous lowercase weight that keeps small apertures from feeling fragile.
Best suited to display sizes where its dense strokes and rounded-rect geometry can read as a clear stylistic statement. It works well for branding, packaging, and signage that need a sturdy, friendly voice, and for posters or social graphics where high-impact letterforms are desirable. In longer text, it will create a very dark typographic color, so it’s most effective in short passages or emphasized typographic moments.
The tone is bold and self-assured but not aggressive, thanks to the softened, rounded geometry. It reads as contemporary and practical, with a friendly warmth that suits brands aiming for clarity and approachability. The overall rhythm feels steady and grounded, emphasizing reliability over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric sans with softened corners, balancing strength with approachability. Its superelliptical construction and blunt terminals aim for high visual impact and a distinctive, modern silhouette while maintaining straightforward readability.
Round letters like O/Q and the numeral 0 appear more superelliptical than purely circular, contributing to a distinctive, boxy-round silhouette. The design maintains consistent heft across caps, lowercase, and numerals, yielding strong presence in short lines and headlines. Spacing looks tuned for dense, impactful setting, with a compact feel that reinforces the font’s blocky, modern character.
