A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly uniform stroke weight. Curves are smooth and generous, with softened corners and wide, open counters that keep the dense weight from feeling clogged. Proportions are compact with steady vertical rhythm; terminals are predominantly blunt, and joins are clean and uncomplicated. The lowercase uses simple, highly legible forms with a single-storey “a” and “g,” while numerals are similarly rounded and substantial, matching the overall blocky silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where bold, compact forms need to land with immediate clarity—headlines, brand marks, packaging panels, and wayfinding or informational signage. Its rounded geometry also works well for product UI labels and short callouts where a friendly but firm voice is desired.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a friendly softness from the rounded geometry with an assertive, no-nonsense presence from the dense strokes. It reads as straightforward and reliable rather than delicate or expressive, with a tech-forward cleanliness that still feels warm.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a distinctive rounded-rectangular geometry, offering a modern sans voice that remains approachable. It emphasizes consistency, sturdiness, and clean reproduction in prominent sizes.
The family shows strong consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with the same squared-round logic carrying through diagonals and curves. Large sizes emphasize the sculpted superellipse shapes; at smaller sizes the weighty forms prioritize clarity and impact over finesse.
