A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with compact apertures and squared counters that keep the forms tight and efficient. Capitals feel slightly condensed and vertical, while lowercase stays robust with a large x-height and short ascenders/descenders, producing a dense, even texture in text. Numerals and punctuation follow the same squared, superelliptical logic for a cohesive, engineered look.
This font works best where a strong, compact voice is needed: headlines, posters, and logo/wordmark-style branding. Its squared, rounded construction also suits signage and interface labels where a technical, contemporary tone and sturdy letterforms help maintain legibility at medium and large sizes.
The overall tone is technical and industrial, with a no-nonsense confidence that reads as modern and functional. Rounded corners temper the rigidity, giving it a friendly machine-made character rather than a sharp or aggressive one.
The design appears intended to merge geometric precision with approachable rounding, creating a contemporary sans that feels engineered and space-efficient. It prioritizes a solid, impactful presence and consistent shape logic across letters and figures.
Curves resolve into boxy bowls and terminals, and joins stay clean and mechanical. The rhythm in running text is compact and uniform, favoring clarity and impact over airy openness.
