A heavy, geometric sans built from squarish, rounded-rectangle construction, with soft corners and largely uniform stroke thickness. Counters are roomy but tend toward rectangular, and openings are relatively tight, producing a compact, sturdy rhythm in text. Curved letters (C, G, O, S) lean into superelliptical shapes, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) keep crisp right angles softened by rounding. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, with a single-storey a and g, short extenders, and sturdy joins that keep the texture dense. Numerals share the same rounded-rect geometry, with a particularly boxy 0 and a simple, solid 1.
Best suited to attention-grabbing headlines, brand marks, and short statements where a strong, compact texture is an asset. Its sturdy geometry also fits product packaging, wayfinding, and sports or tech-forward visual systems that benefit from a bold, squared-round voice.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a contemporary, engineered feel. Its squared curves and dense texture read as assertive and modern, suggesting performance, hardware, and signage rather than delicate editorial typography.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through a simplified geometric skeleton and rounded-rect forms, balancing hard industrial structure with softened corners. The consistent, block-like construction aims for immediate recognition and a contemporary, functional presence in display typography.
At display sizes the rounded corners and superelliptical curves become a defining signature, giving the face a softened “machined” look. In longer lines the tight apertures and heavy weight create strong color and presence, making it most effective when clarity is supported by generous spacing and size.
