A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and uniform stroke weight. Counters are compact and squarish, with consistently softened corners that keep the texture smooth despite the dense letterforms. Terminals are blunt and straight, curves transition quickly into flats, and bowls read as wide ovals with flattened sides. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with simple forms (single-storey a and g) and minimal differentiation between similar shapes, creating an even, solid color in text.
Best suited for headlines, display typography, and short-to-medium text where bold presence and quick recognition are needed—such as posters, sports or tech branding, packaging, and wayfinding. It can also work for UI labels and buttons when a compact, high-impact voice is desired, though the tight counters suggest avoiding very small sizes or overly long paragraphs.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, balancing a friendly softness from the rounded corners with a strong, no-nonsense presence. It feels designed to project clarity and impact rather than delicacy, with a slightly sporty, signage-like energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly legible, compact, and contemporary sans voice built from superelliptical geometry. It prioritizes strong silhouette, consistent rhythm, and a friendly-yet-forceful visual message for branding and display applications.
Round letters such as O/Q and numerals like 0/8/9 emphasize squared-off curves and tight apertures, which boosts punch at large sizes but can make internal spaces feel small in dense settings. The digit set matches the same blocky, rounded geometry, keeping headings and UI numerals visually consistent with the alphabet.
