A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) construction. Curves are smooth and generously radiused, while vertical and horizontal strokes stay straight and firm, creating a boxy-but-soft silhouette. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and terminals are clean and unadorned, giving the letters a solid, engineered feel. The lowercase shows single-story forms (notably a and g) with compact joins and sturdy shoulders, keeping the rhythm consistent across text and display sizes.
This font suits headline and short-copy applications where a strong, modern presence is needed—brand marks, packaging titles, posters, and editorial display. Its sturdy geometry and softened corners also make it a good fit for UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding-style signage where clear, bold forms are beneficial.
The overall tone is contemporary and self-assured, balancing industrial solidity with approachable rounding. It feels pragmatic and tech-adjacent rather than expressive or calligraphic, projecting clarity and reliability with a friendly edge.
The design appears aimed at delivering a robust, contemporary sans built from superelliptical shapes—combining the efficiency and neutrality of geometric construction with rounded corners for approachability. It prioritizes strong silhouette and consistency for impactful display typography.
In the sample text, the heavy weight produces strong word shapes and emphatic color on the line, especially in all-caps and mixed-case headlines. Rounded corners help prevent the forms from feeling harsh, while the wide stance keeps letters distinct and stable at larger sizes.
