A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, with large counters that stay open despite the weight, and a tall lowercase that keeps words dense but readable. Curves and bowls lean toward superelliptical geometry rather than true circles, giving letters like C, O, and S a squared-off roundness. Terminals are blunt and squared, joins are sturdy, and the overall rhythm is tight and punchy with clear differentiation in forms like a, g, and t.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium display copy where impact and clarity are priorities—posters, branding wordmarks, packaging callouts, and wayfinding or signage. Its chunky geometry also makes it effective for badges, labels, and UI moments that need a strong typographic punch.
The font reads as bold and approachable at the same time: sturdy, matter-of-fact shapes with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It evokes a utilitarian, poster-like confidence with a hint of retro signage and playful chunky display type.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with simple, geometric letterforms that remain legible and consistent. The rounded-rectangle styling suggests an intent to balance industrial sturdiness with an inviting, contemporary softness.
The numerals mirror the same squared-round logic, with strong silhouettes that hold up well at distance. Uppercase forms feel engineered and stable, while the lowercase adds warmth through simplified, high-clarity shapes and generous interior space.
