A heavy, compact sans with broadly squared, rounded-rectangle construction and smooth, uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving counters a roomy, superelliptical feel while keeping exterior silhouettes crisp and blocky. Terminals are blunt and clean, joins are sturdy, and the overall rhythm is dense and even, producing strong word shapes at display sizes.
Best suited to high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and campaign graphics where bold texture is desirable. Its rounded geometry also works well for branding, packaging, and wayfinding/signage that needs a friendly but authoritative presence.
The tone is assertive and upbeat, combining a no-nonsense weight with approachable rounded forms. It reads as contemporary and energetic—more playful than industrial—while still feeling stable and dependable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch while avoiding harshness, using softened corners and superellipse-like shaping to balance strength with approachability. It prioritizes clear silhouettes, robust counters, and consistent mass for attention-grabbing display typography.
Caps are wide and imposing with generous interior space, and the lowercase follows the same squared-round logic, keeping forms cohesive across the set. Numerals mirror the letterforms with thick strokes and rounded corners, staying highly legible and poster-ready.
