A sturdy sans with softly squared, superellipse-like curves and rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and a compact, efficient footprint. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, while joins are solid and blunt, giving letters a blocky but approachable silhouette. The lowercase shows simple, functional construction (single-storey a and g), and the figures are heavy and clear with broad curves and stable verticals.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and brand applications where a strong, compact sans can carry emphasis without looking harsh. It should perform well on posters, packaging, wayfinding, and simple UI or label work where robust letterforms and rounded geometry support quick recognition.
The overall tone is modern and straightforward, combining a no-nonsense strength with a friendly softness from the rounded geometry. It reads as confident and contemporary rather than technical or formal, with an approachable, everyday voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, contemporary sans built from rounded-rectangle forms, balancing strong impact with softened corners for approachability and clarity.
The superellipse shaping is especially evident in round letters and bowls, which feel squarer than a pure geometric sans while avoiding sharp corners. Spacing and proportions look geared toward clarity at larger sizes, where the weight and compact forms create strong, poster-like presence.
