A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with generous rounding in counters and terminals that keeps the texture smooth despite the weight. Proportions are condensed, with tall capitals and tight apertures; curves are squarish rather than circular, giving letters like C, G, O, and S a superelliptical feel. The lowercase is straightforward and legible with a single-storey a, a compact e, and short, sturdy ascenders/descenders; dots are squarish-rounded, matching the overall geometry. Numerals follow the same rounded-square logic, producing a consistent, sign-like rhythm in text.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed width and heavy build can deliver impact: headlines, posters, product branding, packaging, and wayfinding or labeling. It also works well for short UI labels or badges where a sturdy, rounded technical voice is desired.
The tone reads modern and utilitarian with a subtle retro-tech edge, like labeling on equipment, dashboards, or sports branding. Its dense, confident shapes feel assertive and engineered, while the rounded corners prevent it from becoming harsh.
The font appears designed to combine high-impact weight with a controlled, rounded-square geometry, prioritizing a compact footprint and a clean, engineered texture. The consistent corner rounding and superelliptical bowls suggest an aim for a friendly but industrial modernism that stays cohesive across letters and numerals.
The design leans on squared curves and tight internal spaces, creating a strong, even color in lines of text. Distinctive details include the rounded-rectangular bowls, compact joins, and a consistently softened finish that helps maintain clarity at display sizes.
