A solid, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and softly eased corners throughout. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark text color. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and round letters (O, C, G, e) lean toward squared curves rather than perfect circles. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, while lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a compact e with a small aperture, and straightforward, sturdy stems and joins. Numerals are similarly robust, with simple, highly legible shapes and consistent stroke endings.
Well suited to headlines, wordmarks, packaging, and signage where a strong, friendly geometric voice is needed. It can also work for UI labels and short product copy at larger sizes, where the dense weight and rounded forms remain clear and distinctive.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, balancing a friendly softness from the rounded geometry with a confident, no-nonsense presence from the heavy, even strokes. It reads as pragmatic and modern, with a subtle tech and product-interface feel rather than a humanist or calligraphic voice.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary geometric sans with softened edges—combining the clarity and directness of a bold workhorse with a more approachable, rounded-rectangle personality for modern branding and interface-oriented contexts.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep the heavy weight from clogging, and the squared-round curves give the face a distinctive “soft industrial” rhythm. The design maintains consistent rounding and stroke endings across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping it feel cohesive in display sizes.
