A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and smoothly curved corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, compact letterforms and strong color on the page. Counters tend to be tight and squarish-oval, while joins and terminals are blunt and clean, giving the shapes a solid, engineered feel. Uppercase forms read wide and stable, and lowercase proportions stay straightforward and legible, with simple bowls and short, sturdy arms.
Best suited to display typography where mass and clarity are assets: headlines, posters, product packaging, wayfinding, and bold brand marks. It also works well for short UI labels or callouts where a friendly but forceful presence is needed, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font projects an upbeat, approachable strength—confident and contemporary without feeling sharp or aggressive. Its rounded geometry adds warmth and a slightly playful tone, making it feel friendly while still assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft-edged geometric voice—combining strong, compact forms with rounded corners for a modern, approachable display style that remains highly legible.
The overall rhythm is even and blocky, with a noticeable emphasis on squarish rounds in letters like C, O, and Q, and similarly rounded corners in numerals. At larger sizes it feels especially impactful and graphic; at smaller sizes the tight interior spaces can make the texture feel darker and more compact.
