A heavy, geometric sans with squarish bowls and corners softened into rounded rectangles. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with compact apertures and broadly consistent curve logic across rounds like C, G, O, and Q. Terminals are mostly flat and orthogonal, giving the design a blocky, engineered rhythm; diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y, Z) are crisp and robust rather than sharp or delicate. The lowercase follows the same squared, softened construction, with sturdy shoulders and a simple, utilitarian i/j treatment that stays visually stable at large sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and signage where its dense weight and rounded-rect geometry stay clear and distinctive. It can also work for labels and packaging that need a sturdy, modern presence, while extended small text may feel heavy due to the compact apertures and tight counters.
The overall tone is bold and dependable, balancing an industrial, sign-like authority with approachable rounded corners. It reads as energetic and sporty, suggesting modern utility rather than elegance or softness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, rounded-rect construction that remains clean and consistent across letters and numerals. It aims for a practical, contemporary voice—strong enough for display use while avoiding harshness through softened corners.
Counters are relatively tight and the internal whitespace stays controlled, producing strong color and punch in headlines. Several shapes show subtle interior notches and corner behavior that helps prevent dark clumping at joins, reinforcing a functional, display-forward feel.
