A compact, heavy sans with geometric construction and subtly softened corners that push round letters toward a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) feel. Strokes are uniform and sturdy with minimal contrast, producing consistent color in text. Curves are tight and controlled, counters are relatively small, and joins favor simple, engineered solutions over calligraphic shaping. Uppercase forms are tall and efficient, while lowercase keeps straightforward skeletons with single-storey a and g and a short-armed t; overall spacing reads economical and dense without becoming cramped.
Well suited to headlines and short statements where you want maximum impact in limited horizontal space. The sturdy forms and slashed zero make it a practical choice for UI labels, navigation, packaging, and environmental or wayfinding-style typography where quick recognition is valued.
The tone is modern and no-nonsense, with a pragmatic, signage-like directness. Its rounded-rect geometry lends a slightly friendly edge, but the overall impression remains firm, functional, and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver a dense, high-contrast-on-the-page presence through simple geometric forms and controlled rounding, balancing clarity with a contemporary, slightly softened industrial feel.
Digits follow the same robust geometry; the 0 uses an internal diagonal slash for clear differentiation. The large x-height relative to the width and the tight apertures (notably in letters like e and s) reinforce a compact, high-impact texture, especially at display sizes.
