A heavy, geometric sans with a squared-off, superelliptical skeleton: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms and terminals feel cut cleanly with minimal modulation. Counters are relatively tight and often rectangular, with broad strokes and firm joins that create a compact, sturdy texture in text. The uppercase is wide and stable, while the lowercase keeps simple, single-storey forms where expected, maintaining a consistent, engineered rhythm across letters and numerals. Overall spacing reads even and purposeful, prioritizing impact and clarity over delicacy.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display copy where its dense weight and squared-round shapes can read as a strong visual signature. It can also work well for branding systems, packaging, and signage that benefit from an engineered, contemporary tone and high stroke presence.
The font conveys an industrial, technical voice—confident and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro-futurist edge. Its rounded-square geometry feels modern and engineered, suggesting reliability and efficiency rather than warmth or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, geometric sans voice built from rounded-rectilinear forms, optimizing for impactful display readability and a consistent, modern-industrial character across letters and numbers.
Round letters (like O/C/G) lean toward a squared oval, and bowls (B/P/R) feel boxy with rounded corners, reinforcing the superellipse theme. Numerals are similarly sturdy and geometric, with straightforward construction and clear silhouettes for display use.
