A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently smooth corners. Strokes are largely uniform, with broad verticals and compact interior counters that create a dense, emphatic texture. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) read as superelliptical forms, while straights (E, F, H, L, T) feel square-shouldered and engineered. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and an i with a square dot; overall spacing appears tight and the rhythm is strongly vertical.
Best suited for display use where impact and legibility at large sizes matter: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and short callouts. It can also work for wayfinding and signage, where the sturdy shapes and rounded corners help maintain clarity.
The tone is direct and punchy, projecting strength and clarity without feeling sharp or aggressive thanks to the rounded terminals. It suggests contemporary utility—confident, pragmatic, and approachable—well suited to bold statements and clear signaling.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modern voice built from rounded geometric primitives, balancing an engineered structure with softened corners for friendliness. It prioritizes visual solidity and consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals for assertive contemporary typography.
Round forms keep a fairly narrow aperture, especially in C/c and e, which reinforces the compact, poster-like color on the page. Numerals are broad and weighty with rounded corners, matching the letterforms closely for cohesive headline setting.
