A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and uniform, producing a dense, even typographic color with minimal modulation. Counters are relatively compact—especially in letters like B, P, and R—while round characters such as O and Q read as squarish superellipses. Terminals are blunt and clean, and the overall rhythm feels tight and block-forward, with straightforward forms and little internal detailing.
Best suited for headlines and short copy where impact and clarity are priorities, such as posters, branding marks, packaging, and bold UI or signage. The dense weight and compact counters favor larger sizes, where the rounded geometry reads crisply and confidently.
The tone is assertive yet approachable: strong, high-impact shapes softened by rounded corners. It conveys a contemporary, utilitarian confidence suited to attention-grabbing messaging without feeling harsh or aggressive.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual punch through simple, geometric construction while keeping a friendly edge. Rounded corners and superelliptical bowls suggest an intention to balance authority with approachability for modern display typography.
Uppercase forms are notably condensed in their internal space, emphasizing solidity at display sizes. The lowercase shows simple, robust construction with a single-storey “a” and a compact “g,” reinforcing a pragmatic, contemporary feel. Numerals match the same heavy, squarish roundness, maintaining consistent weight and presence across the set.
