A heavy, geometric sans with superelliptical construction: curves read like rounded rectangles, and corners are consistently softened rather than truly circular. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, compact counters and a strong, blocky silhouette. Proportions are broad and stable, with wide rounds (notably in O/C) and sturdy verticals; joins are clean and simplified. The lowercase is straightforward and sturdy, with single-storey forms (a, g) and a short, functional ear on g; the i/j dots are round and prominent. Numerals are similarly robust, with large bowls and tight apertures that hold up best at display sizes.
Best suited for display applications where weight and presence are desirable: headlines, posters, product packaging, bold brand wordmarks, and attention-grabbing signage. It also works well for short UI labels or badges when used at sufficient size and with generous spacing.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, trading refinement for immediacy and impact. Its rounded-rectangle geometry gives it a contemporary, slightly toy-like friendliness while still feeling assertive and confident. The rhythm is punchy and compact, lending a playful, poster-ready energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, geometric voice—using superelliptical rounds, softened corners, and simplified forms to create a cohesive, modern display sans that reads as approachable rather than aggressive.
The heavy weight and compact internal spaces make word shapes feel solid and cohesive, but the tight apertures can reduce clarity at small sizes or in long paragraphs. The ampersand and curved letters lean into the superelliptical theme, keeping the set visually consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
