A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Curves are built from superelliptical bowls that stay squarish at the sides, giving round letters like O/C/G a sturdy, boxy presence. Strokes are uniform with minimal modulation, terminals are blunt, and joins are clean and sturdy. Proportions favor broad letterforms with a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders, yielding dense, high-impact texture in text. Counters are relatively compact, and spacing appears generous enough to keep the dark weight from clogging at display sizes.
Best suited for display roles where mass and shape can do the work: headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and wayfinding. The tall x-height and sturdy forms can also work for short UI labels and callouts, especially when you want a friendly, high-visibility sans.
The overall tone is bold and assertive while remaining approachable due to the rounded geometry. It reads as contemporary and energetic, with a slightly playful, tech-forward personality that feels at home in branding and punchy headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with simple, geometric construction—combining squared-off roundness for a distinctive silhouette and reliable readability. It prioritizes a strong, contemporary voice that stays approachable through rounded corners and stable proportions.
The caps set feels particularly monumental and stable, while the lowercase keeps a utilitarian, single-storey, geometric flavor that reinforces the font’s clean rhythm. Numerals match the same squared-round logic, producing strong, easily recognizable figures with a consistent, industrial clarity.
