A heavy, monolinear sans with a superelliptical construction: strokes terminate in rounded corners while bowls and counters lean toward squared, rounded-rectangle shapes. The forms are compact and vertically steady, with consistent stroke weight, small-to-moderate apertures, and generally tight interior counters that keep the silhouette dense. Curves transition quickly into straight segments, producing a rhythmic mix of softened rectangles and firm verticals; diagonal strokes (notably in V, W, X, and 4) are straight and decisive, contrasting with the softened corners elsewhere.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium text where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable—posters, branding systems, packaging, labels, and wayfinding/signage. The compact shapes and strong silhouettes also work well for logos and UI titles where clarity at larger sizes matters.
The overall tone feels industrial and retro-modern, combining machine-like solidity with friendly rounded edges. It reads as confident and practical rather than delicate, with a subtle sci‑fi/technical flavor driven by the squared curves and condensed, blocky presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modern workhorse sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry—balancing approachability (soft corners) with a technical, engineered feel (squared bowls and compact counters).
Uppercase shapes appear particularly compact and uniform, with rounded-arch constructions in letters like A, D, O, and P that emphasize the superellipse logic. Lowercase keeps the same geometric language, with simple, sturdy joins and minimal gesture. Numerals follow the same squared-round pattern, maintaining a consistent, robust texture in text and display settings.
