A heavy, geometric sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction that produces square-ish counters and smoothly radiused corners. Strokes are largely uniform, with minimal contrast and crisp terminals, giving the letters a sturdy, machined look. Curves in forms like C, G, O, and S are tightened into squarish arcs, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) keep a rigid, modular rhythm. Numerals share the same rounded-square logic, with closed, compact bowls and a consistent, engineered texture across lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, brand marks, packaging, and poster typography where a strong, geometric presence is desired. Its compact, rounded-square forms also work well for UI titling, product names, and labels that benefit from a technical, contemporary feel.
The overall tone is modern and technical, with a slightly retro-digital flavor. Its confident density and softened corners balance precision with approachability, reading as functional, contemporary, and display-forward rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rect geometry into an all-purpose display sans: solid, highly structured, and visually distinctive while remaining straightforward to read at larger sizes. It aims for a consistent modular rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, emphasizing a modern, engineered character.
The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, reinforcing a simplified, geometric voice. Apertures are generally controlled and counters are compact, creating a strong, dark typographic color that holds together well in short headlines and signage-style settings.
