A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls and corners, producing a sturdy, compact silhouette with squared terminals and minimal modulation. Counters are relatively tight and rectangular in feel, while apertures stay clean and open enough for display clarity. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and short, utilitarian extenders, reinforcing a dense, headline-oriented texture.
Best suited to large sizes where its compact, rounded geometry and dense color can deliver impact—headlines, logotypes, packaging, and poster typography. It also works well for UI labels, navigation, and product or wayfinding signage when a robust, contemporary sans is needed.
The overall tone is modern and assertive while staying approachable due to the softened corners and superellipse curves. It reads as pragmatic and contemporary, with a subtle tech and UI flavor rather than an expressive or calligraphic voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern sans voice built on superelliptical geometry—balancing toughness and friendliness through rounded corners, compact proportions, and consistent stroke weight for clear, high-impact communication.
Capitals look uniform and engineered, with consistent corner radii and a strong baseline presence. The numerals are similarly blocky and stable, aligning with the font’s square-leaning round forms and giving dashboards and labels a cohesive, system-like rhythm.
