This typeface is a heavy, geometric sans with superellipse-influenced curves and noticeably rounded corners throughout. Strokes are monolinear with low contrast, producing compact, dark letterforms with broad counters and a stable, block-like silhouette. Curved letters such as C, O, and G read as rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) keep crisp verticals and horizontals with softened joins. The lowercase is simple and utilitarian, with single-storey a and g, a tall, straight-sided l, and a compact, square-shouldered n/m; the numerals are similarly robust and open, built from the same softened-rectilinear geometry.
It performs best in attention-first applications such as headlines, logos, posters, packaging, and wayfinding or retail signage where a strong, friendly presence is needed. The heavy weight and compact forms make it particularly effective for short statements and large-scale typography.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, combining a no-nonsense, industrial solidity with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It feels pragmatic and energetic rather than delicate, with an emphasis on clarity and punch at display sizes.
The typeface appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a softened geometric voice—combining hard-working, rectilinear construction with rounded corners to keep the feel approachable. Its consistent geometry suggests an emphasis on visual uniformity and bold legibility in modern branding and display contexts.
The design’s rhythm is driven by consistent corner rounding and broad, even stroke weight, creating a cohesive texture in blocks of text. Diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are wide and sturdy, helping maintain a uniform color across the alphabet, while round letters keep a squared-off feel that reinforces a modern, engineered character.
