A compact geometric sans with superelliptical, rounded-rectangle construction and consistently heavy strokes. Curves are broad and controlled, corners are softened rather than sharp, and terminals read mostly flat and decisive. Counters are relatively tight, giving the face a dense, high-ink presence, while spacing stays even and orderly across the alphabet and numerals. The overall rhythm is regular and sturdy, with simple, highly legible forms and minimal stroke modulation.
It performs well in display and short-to-medium settings where a dense, emphatic texture is desirable—headlines, posters, signage, and packaging. The simple geometry and strong color also suit interface labels, navigation, and other on-screen text where clarity at a glance matters.
The font conveys a modern, no-nonsense tone—clean and functional, with a confident, workmanlike solidity. Its rounded geometry softens the voice slightly, keeping it approachable while remaining businesslike and direct.
Likely designed to provide a robust, contemporary sans voice built from rounded-rectangle geometry, prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a strong typographic color for modern branding and interface environments.
Round characters (like C, G, O, Q, and 0) lean toward squarish bowls, reinforcing the superelliptical feel. Numerals appear blocky and stable, matching the uppercase in weight and presence, and the overall texture in paragraph settings is dark and uniform.
