A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) curves and a compact, even rhythm. Strokes are uniform with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly flat, producing crisp, stable silhouettes. Counters are generous for the weight, and round letters like C, G, O, and Q read as squarish ovals with softened corners. The lowercase is straightforward and utilitarian, with a single-storey a and g, a compact e, and a firm-shouldered n/m; proportions feel slightly condensed by the broad, solid stems. Numerals are robust and simple, with clear forms and strong baseline presence.
This style works best where you need strong impact and quick recognition—headlines, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and poster typography. The sturdy forms and open counters also make it suitable for interface labels, navigation, and short informational copy where clarity at varying sizes matters.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, pairing a friendly softness from the rounded geometry with a confident, no-nonsense heft. It feels tech-forward and practical rather than expressive or calligraphic, projecting reliability and clarity at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric voice with softened corners for approachability, while keeping stroke uniformity and sturdy proportions for maximum punch. It prioritizes consistent shape logic and legibility, aiming for a versatile, modern workhorse feel in bold typographic settings.
Diagonal letters (K, V, W, X, Y) keep sharp joins that contrast nicely with the softened curves elsewhere, adding snap and energy. The set maintains consistent corner radii and interior shapes, helping text blocks look uniform and dense without feeling cramped.
