This typeface is built from heavy, monoline strokes with broadly rounded corners and squared-off, superellipse-like curves. Round letters read as rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles, producing a compact, blocky silhouette and very small counters in characters like B, a, e, and 8. Terminals are blunt and clean, joins are tight, and overall spacing feels sturdy and even, creating a dense texture in text. Numerals and capitals carry the same squat, softened geometry, emphasizing solid shapes over delicate detail.
Best suited for headlines, logos, packaging, and display typography where weight and shape can carry a message quickly. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when generous sizing and contrast are available, but it is less optimized for long passages due to its dense counters and strong color on the page.
The overall tone is confident and approachable, combining a strong poster-like presence with softened edges that keep it from feeling harsh. Its rounded, chunky construction suggests a contemporary, friendly voice suited to energetic, informal messaging.
The design intention appears to be a bold, geometric sans that prioritizes impact and friendliness through rounded-rectangle forms, delivering a contemporary display voice with consistent, simplified letter construction.
At smaller sizes the tight apertures and small internal spaces can fill in visually, while at larger sizes the distinctive rounded-rectangle construction becomes a key stylistic feature. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g), reinforcing the simplified, geometric personality.
