A heavy, monolinear sans built from squarish, superellipse-like shapes with generously rounded corners. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls (notably in O, C, D, and lowercase o/e), while horizontals and verticals stay firm and rectangular, creating a tight, engineered rhythm. Counters are compact and often vertically oriented, and joins are clean and blunt with minimal tapering. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, and the overall fit reads dense and economical, optimized for bold display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where strong silhouette and quick recognition matter. It can work well on packaging, labels, and UI/wayfinding elements that benefit from a sturdy, technical feel, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The tone is mechanical and modern, with a slightly retro-digital flavor reminiscent of industrial signage and sci‑fi interfaces. Its blocky softness (rounded corners on rigid forms) balances friendliness with authority, producing a confident, utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact, rounded-rect geometry: a bold display face that stays clean and contemporary while evoking industrial and digital references.
Several glyphs lean into geometric idiosyncrasies—such as the squared, inset-style terminals and the rounded-rect bowl construction—which enhances distinctiveness but can make long passages feel visually insistent. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic for a cohesive, signage-ready set.
