A heavy geometric sans with squarish, superellipse-like rounds and broad, even strokes. Corners are consistently softened, giving rectangular counters and bowls a rounded-rectangle feel rather than circular. Proportions are compact with sturdy verticals and a tight, efficient rhythm; curves transition quickly into flats, and terminals are generally blunt. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g with solid, simplified construction, while figures are wide and stable with rounded corners and clear interior spaces.
Best suited to short-to-medium text at larger sizes where its compact geometry and rounded-rectangle forms can read crisply—such as logos, headlines, wayfinding, app and dashboard labels, packaging, and promotional graphics. It can also work for dense UI typography where a strong, high-contrast presence is desirable without sharp corners.
The overall tone is modern and assertive, combining a technical, engineered precision with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It reads as contemporary and functional, with a sporty, utilitarian confidence that feels at home in product and interface contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, contemporary sans that blends geometric efficiency with softened corners for approachability. Its simplified constructions and consistent rounding suggest a focus on clear, scalable forms that feel engineered and current.
The design maintains a consistent rounding logic across letters and numerals, producing a cohesive texture in text. Openings and counters stay generous for the weight, which helps maintain clarity despite the compact, block-like shapes.
