A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, with large counters that stay open despite the weight, and terminals that end bluntly rather than tapering. Curves tend toward squarish rounds (not true circles), giving letters like O/C/G a compact, engineered feel. The overall rhythm is steady and sturdy, with simplified joins and clean, straight-sided verticals and horizontals.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, branding marks, packaging, and signage where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It performs well in short to medium bursts of text at larger sizes, especially when a modern, friendly heaviness is desired.
The tone is bold and upbeat, combining a friendly softness from the rounded corners with an assertive, poster-like presence. It reads as contemporary and approachable, with a slightly playful, chunky character that feels suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than delicate typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a clean, contemporary feel, using superelliptical curves and rounded corners to soften an otherwise blocky, industrial structure. It aims for strong legibility and a cohesive geometric system across letters and numbers.
Uppercase forms are particularly solid and sign-like, while the lowercase stays simple and utilitarian with single-storey shapes where expected (notably the g) and generous inner space. Numerals match the same blocky, rounded geometry, keeping a consistent, high-impact texture across mixed text.
