A heavy, block-oriented sans with soft, squared-off curves that read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a compact, sturdy silhouette. Corners are consistently blunted, terminals are flat, and the overall geometry favors straight-sided bowls and squarish curves, giving letters a constructed, stamped feel. The spacing and rhythm are very even across the set, and the numerals match the same chunky, rounded-rectangle construction for a cohesive texture in text.
Works well for posters, headlines, labels, and signage where a compact, high-impact word shape is beneficial. It also suits packaging and product markings that want a durable, engineered look, and interface or dashboard elements where uniform rhythm and sturdy letterforms help maintain clarity at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, with an industrial straightforwardness that feels at home in technical or utilitarian contexts. Its rounded corners soften the mass, adding a friendly, slightly retro flavor without losing the robust, machine-made character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a controlled, geometric construction—favoring rounded-rectangle forms and consistent stroke weight to create a dependable, easily recognizable voice. It prioritizes uniformity and presence over delicacy, aiming for a clear, workmanlike texture in both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
At display sizes the dense shapes and tight internal spaces create strong dark color and high impact; in longer passages it reads best when given generous leading to keep the heavy texture from feeling crowded. The consistent squareness of curves gives the face a distinctive superellipse-like signature, especially in O/C/G and the rounded shoulders of lowercase forms.
