A heavy, geometric sans with superellipse construction: rounded-rectangle bowls, softened corners, and largely uniform stroke thickness. Curves resolve into squarish counters and apertures, giving letters a compact, engineered feel with crisp terminals and minimal modulation. Proportions are steady and built for impact, with simplified joins and consistent rounding that keeps the shapes cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where clarity and punch matter: headlines, logos, labels, product packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for UI accents and tech-facing graphics where a robust, rounded-rect geometry supports a structured visual system.
The tone reads confident and utilitarian, mixing a machine-made, industrial sensibility with approachable rounded edges. It feels modern and technical, but with a slight retro digital flavor—more signage and hardware than editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact sans that stays legible while expressing an engineered, geometric personality. By using rounded-rectangle construction and steady stroke weight, it aims for a distinctive, system-friendly look that remains approachable rather than harsh.
Counters tend toward squarish forms, and several characters show narrowed openings and tight internal space at display sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, emphasizing clear silhouettes and strong, block-like presence.
