A heavy geometric sans with a squared, rounded-rectangle construction and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves are rendered as superellipse-like corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a compact, boxy feel. Terminals frequently end in flat cuts with occasional angled facets, producing a crisp, engineered silhouette. Proportions are sturdy and compact, with wide stems, tight apertures on some letters, and numerals that echo the same rounded-square logic for a consistent, modular rhythm.
Best suited to display roles where its chunky, squared-rounded forms can read clearly and establish a strong voice—headlines, posters, branding marks, product labels, and wayfinding. It can also work for short UI labels or technical themes where a compact, engineered aesthetic is desired, but its dense texture may be heavy for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone feels industrial and slightly retro, like lettering from machinery, arcade-era graphics, or utilitarian signage. Its blocky softness reads confident and mechanical rather than friendly, balancing hardness (flat cuts) with approachability (rounded corners).
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, modular look built from rounded rectangles, combining a technical sensibility with a nostalgic, industrial edge. The faceted cuts and compact counters suggest an emphasis on distinctive silhouette and sign-like impact.
The face maintains strong consistency between uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with distinctive, stylized shapes that prioritize graphic character over neutrality. The dense forms and squared counters create a dark, impactful texture in paragraphs, especially at larger sizes.
