A heavy, rounded grotesk with superelliptical bowls and softly squared curves that read like rounded rectangles. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and compact apertures in letters like C, S, and e. The uppercase is broad and assertive with simple geometric construction, while the lowercase keeps similarly chunky proportions, a single-storey a, and straightforward terminals. Numerals follow the same stout, rounded logic, emphasizing mass and even color on the line.
Best suited to display settings where bold, rounded letterforms can carry a message quickly—such as posters, large UI banners, packaging callouts, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short bursts of text (labels, buttons, signage) when strong emphasis and clarity at a glance are needed.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, but the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. Its shapes feel contemporary and slightly playful, giving headlines a friendly weight and a strong graphic presence.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a softened geometric voice: a robust, highly legible silhouette built from rounded-rectangle forms for contemporary branding and attention-grabbing typography.
Round forms (O, 0, Q) are notably squarish in their curvature, creating a distinctive, almost modular rhythm. Tight internal spaces and wide footprints make the type feel compact in texture yet expansive in stance, especially at larger sizes.
