A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Curves are broad and closed, with minimal stroke modulation and generous interior counters for the weight. Terminals are blunt and steady, producing a compact, blocky rhythm; diagonals (as in A, V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and simplified. The lowercase mixes single-storey a and g with upright, utilitarian forms, while figures are wide, bold, and highly legible with simple, stable shapes.
Best suited to display typography where strong presence and quick readability matter: headlines, posters, brand marks and wordmarks, packaging, and short-form messaging. The robust, rounded construction also works well for large UI labels and signage where a friendly but emphatic voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a no-nonsense solidity with rounded friendliness. It reads as contemporary and energetic—more “headline punch” than quiet neutrality—without becoming quirky or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a softened geometric voice—retaining the authority of a heavy sans while using rounded forms to keep the texture approachable and contemporary.
Spacing in the samples appears tuned for impact at display sizes, with dense shapes that still maintain clear letter separation. The roundness is systematic rather than calligraphic, giving the face a consistent, engineered feel across letters and numerals.
