A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and large internal counters that stay open despite the weight. The curves and joins read as superelliptical rather than circular, giving bowls and terminals a squarish, molded feel. Spacing is tight and the overall rhythm is dense, with sturdy verticals and simplified diagonals that maintain clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and wayfinding where a dense, confident voice is needed. It can also serve branding and logo work that benefits from rounded-rect geometry and strong color, while longer text is likely to work better at larger sizes due to the heavy overall texture.
The tone is bold and approachable, mixing utilitarian solidity with a slightly playful softness from the rounded corners. It feels contemporary and product-forward, with a hint of retro signage and industrial labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact footprint, pairing heavy, even strokes with softened geometry to stay friendly rather than aggressive. Its superelliptical construction suggests a focus on contemporary UI/product aesthetics and bold display utility.
Uppercase forms are compact and blocklike, while lowercase keeps straightforward, sturdy silhouettes; the single-storey style in letters like “a” reinforces the simplified, modern construction. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, producing a cohesive, highly branded texture in lines of text.
