A chunky sans with superellipse construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles with smooth, consistent curvature and soft corners. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation and a stable vertical rhythm; terminals tend to be blunt and squared-off rather than tapered. The proportions are expansive and horizontally oriented, with broad capitals and wide circular forms (O, Q) that feel squarish in their rounding. Lowercase follows the same geometry, keeping apertures fairly tight and counters compact, while numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited for headlines, brand marks, packaging, and short emphatic statements where its wide stance and rounded-rect geometry can carry personality. It also fits UI titles, splash screens, and tech or sports-oriented graphics where a sturdy, contemporary sans is needed.
The overall tone is modern and tech-forward, balancing a strong, emphatic presence with approachable softness from the rounded corners. It suggests contemporary product design and digital interfaces—confident and energetic without feeling sharp or aggressive.
The font appears designed to merge geometric precision with softened edges, delivering a bold visual footprint that remains friendly and highly contemporary. Its consistent superellipse logic across letters and numbers suggests an intention toward strong cohesion and recognizability in display-driven typography.
The design leans toward closed forms and reduced internal space, which increases impact at display sizes but can make dense text feel dark. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) are clean and angular, contrasting with the rounded bowls to create a crisp, engineered feel.
