A heavy, rounded sans with softly squared curves and an overall superellipse geometry. Strokes are uniform and substantial, with generous rounding at joins and terminals that keeps counters open despite the weight. The proportions lean compact, with broad shoulders and sturdy verticals; round letters read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than perfect circles. Lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g”, a high, clean “t” crossbar, and a rounded “r” with a short shoulder, all contributing to a consistent, friendly rhythm. Numerals are similarly compact and rounded, with clear, simple construction.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and short to medium-length display text where its strong presence and rounded geometry can carry a visual identity. It also works well for packaging, wayfinding, and UI callouts where a friendly, high-impact sans is desired.
The tone is contemporary and upbeat, balancing solidity with softness. Its rounded-square forms feel friendly and accessible, while the dense black color and tidy geometry project confidence and clarity. Overall it reads as modern, uncomplicated, and slightly playful without becoming informal.
The design appears intended to provide a modern geometric sans with softened edges—delivering high visual impact while staying approachable. Its rounded-square construction suggests a focus on contemporary branding and clear, characterful display typography.
Spacing and shapes emphasize legibility at larger sizes: bowls and apertures remain relatively open, and punctuation and dots appear round and prominent. The design maintains consistent corner radii across letters and numbers, giving text a cohesive, blocky-yet-soft texture.
