A heavy, rounded sans with superellipse-like bowls and softly squared curves that keep counters open and sturdy. Strokes are monolinear with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and blunt, giving shapes a solid, poster-ready feel. Proportions are compact with broad capitals and stout lowercase forms; round letters (o, c, e) read as rounded-rectangles rather than perfect circles. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a wide, symmetrical w, reinforcing a geometric, consistent rhythm across the set. Numerals are equally weighty and simplified, matching the same rounded-rect geometry for strong, even color in text.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short-to-medium blocks of copy where a friendly but forceful voice is needed. It works well for brand marks, packaging, signage, and UI moments like buttons or badges where clear, rounded shapes and strong presence improve recognition.
The overall tone is upbeat and contemporary, balancing friendliness from the rounded geometry with authority from the dense weight. It feels direct and accessible rather than technical, with a slightly playful softness that still holds up for emphatic messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric voice built from rounded-rectangle forms, prioritizing impact and approachability. It aims for consistent, easily repeatable shapes that stay legible while projecting a bold, contemporary personality.
Large apertures and generous counters help maintain clarity at display sizes, while the compact spacing and heavy forms create strong typographic color. The squared-round construction makes it particularly cohesive in all-caps settings and short headlines where the uniform shapes read as a confident block.
