A heavy, rounded-rect sans with superelliptical curves and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with large counters and smoothly squared bowls that keep shapes open despite the dense weight. Terminals are blunt and rounded, giving letters a molded, blocky feel; curves transition into straights with minimal contrast and an overall geometric discipline. Lowercase forms are simple and compact, with single-storey a and g and a short, straight-armed t; numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic with wide, stable silhouettes.
Best suited for display roles where strong, rounded geometry is an asset—headlines, branding systems, logos, posters, and punchy packaging. Its large counters and compact shapes also make it a good fit for UI banners, app naming, and signage where a friendly-but-firm presence is desired.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, combining a tech-forward, UI-friendly geometry with a slightly retro, arcade-like solidity. It reads as bold and dependable rather than delicate, projecting clarity and confidence with a playful softness in the corners.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, contemporary sans that feels engineered and consistent, built from rounded-rectangle primitives for a clean, modular look. It aims to balance impact with approachability, keeping forms simple, open, and highly legible at larger sizes.
Round forms (O, o, 0, 8) lean toward squarish circles, reinforcing a superellipse rhythm across both letters and numbers. The spacing in the sample text appears even and steady, supporting large-size readability and strong word shapes in headlines.
