A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and softened corners throughout. Counters are broad and simple, curves are tight and controlled, and terminals finish bluntly, giving the letters a dense, blocklike presence. Uppercase forms are wide and stable with generous inner space, while the lowercase stays sturdy and compact with minimal stroke modulation. Numerals match the same squared-round geometry, producing a consistent, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where strong typographic impact is needed, such as posters, branding marks, packaging fronts, and bold UI or wayfinding signage. It can also work for large-format editorial callouts, but its dense weight is most effective when given space and used at display sizes.
The overall tone is bold and assertive while still approachable, pairing industrial solidity with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It reads as contemporary and utilitarian, with a subtle retro, scoreboard-like flavor that feels energetic and direct.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and legibility with a geometric, rounded-rectangle voice—combining a sturdy, engineered feel with softened edges for approachability in modern branding and display typography.
The superelliptical shaping is especially apparent in round letters and bowls, which tend toward squarish ovals rather than perfect circles. The uniform, hefty strokes create strong color on the page, and the simplified joins and apertures prioritize clarity over delicacy.
