A heavy geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and broad, open counters. Strokes are thick and even, with softened corners and generally squared-off terminals that keep the silhouettes compact and stable. Curves on letters like C, G, and S feel controlled and slightly flattened, while verticals and horizontals stay crisp, producing a confident, blocky rhythm. The lowercase is simple and robust, with short joins and minimal modulation; figures are similarly stout, with a rounded 0 and wide, footed forms on several numerals.
Best suited to display roles where strong presence and quick recognition matter—brand marks, packaging, posters, and short headline copy. It can also work for wayfinding and signage when set with ample spacing, where the sturdy forms and open counters remain clear.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a friendly roundedness with the assertiveness of a dense, high-impact weight. It reads as sporty and tech-forward rather than delicate, giving headlines a confident, straightforward voice.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern geometric look with softened, superelliptical curves, balancing friendliness with high-impact density. Its simplified construction and compact, rounded-square proportions suggest an intention to feel contemporary, versatile, and highly legible in bold display settings.
The design emphasizes clear, simplified shapes and consistent internal spacing, which helps maintain legibility at larger sizes. The rounded-square geometry creates a distinctive texture in word shapes, especially noticeable in repeated verticals and in the broad bowls of B, D, O, and P.
