A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms. Strokes are thick and even, with softened corners and largely squared-off terminals that keep edges crisp while avoiding sharpness. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, giving the face a dense, ink-rich silhouette. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with a single-story “a” and “g”, a short-shouldered “r”, and a robust, flat-ended “t”; round letters read as squarish ovals, reinforcing the superelliptical construction. Overall spacing feels firm and slightly tightened, producing a strong, blocky rhythm in words and headlines.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and brand marks where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can work well on packaging and retail/wayfinding applications that benefit from bold, rounded geometry and quick recognition at a glance.
The tone is bold and upbeat, mixing a contemporary geometric feel with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It reads confident and energetic rather than formal, with a slightly sporty, poster-like presence that grabs attention quickly.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact with a contemporary geometric structure, while rounding and superellipse-like curves soften the tone for approachable branding. Its compact counters and firm spacing suggest an emphasis on dense, attention-grabbing display typography.
At display sizes the chunky shapes and softened geometry create strong sign-like legibility, but the tight counters and dense color can make long passages feel heavy. Numerals match the overall mass and squareness, maintaining a consistent, compact footprint across mixed text.
