A heavy, geometric sans with softly squared curves and superellipse-like bowls that read as rounded rectangles rather than pure circles. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing a dense, solid texture and strong color on the page. Corners and terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with subtly rounded joins that keep forms approachable. Proportions favor a tall x-height and compact counters, and the overall spacing feels even and controlled for headline-style setting.
Best suited to display roles where its strong weight and compact counters can deliver impact—headlines, brand marks, packaging, and poster typography. It also works well for short UI labels and navigation where a robust, modern sans is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is contemporary and straightforward, pairing a friendly roundness with an assertive, no-nonsense weight. It suggests modern branding and interface clarity—approachable rather than playful, and confident rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to blend geometric rigor with softened, superelliptical curves, creating a modern sans that feels both engineered and welcoming. Its tall x-height and solid stroke presence prioritize clarity and visual authority in attention-grabbing applications.
Round letters (like O, C, G) show a squarish curvature that creates a slightly industrial, engineered rhythm. The numerals are sturdy and highly legible, matching the letterforms with the same softened-rectangle geometry and strong vertical emphasis.
