A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, with compact internal counters that emphasize a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. Curves tend to square off into broad bowls, and terminals are blunt rather than tapered. Proportions feel expanded horizontally, with wide capitals and numerals and a stable, even rhythm across lines.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as headlines, posters, and bold brand marks where its mass and rounded geometry can carry the layout. It also performs well for short UI labels, packaging callouts, and signage that benefits from clear, sturdy letterforms.
The tone is confident and contemporary, mixing a friendly softness from the rounded corners with a tough, utilitarian weight. It reads as energetic and assertive, with a slightly sporty, signage-forward character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence with a clean geometric build, using rounded-rectangle forms to keep the weight approachable rather than harsh. It prioritizes clarity and punch for large sizes and attention-grabbing typography.
Capitals are particularly commanding, while lowercase forms keep a simple, single-storey feel in places and maintain the same rounded-block geometry. Numerals are similarly chunky and highly legible at display sizes, with clear outlines and minimal detail.
