A heavy, geometric sans with a compact, squared-off build and softly rounded corners throughout. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) shapes, giving bowls and counters a stable, engineered feel rather than a purely circular one. Strokes stay uniform and dense, with tight-looking apertures and counters that emphasize solidity and impact. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, while terminals remain clean and unadorned, producing a crisp, utilitarian texture in text.
Best suited for display settings where a strong, compact voice is needed—headlines, poster typography, brand marks, packaging, and large-format signage. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation elements when a firm, high-impact tone is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and pragmatic, combining contemporary cleanliness with a durable, industrial presence. Its rounded-rectangle forms add approachability without losing the sense of strength and efficiency, making it feel modern, dependable, and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry, prioritizing presence, uniformity, and a consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
In the sample text, the dense rhythm and compact internal spaces create strong color on the page, favoring emphasis and clarity over delicacy. The numerals match the same squared, robust construction, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel consistent and purposeful.
