A compact, heavy sans with squarish construction and generously rounded corners. Strokes are largely uniform, with minimal modulation, producing a solid, even color in text. Curves resolve into flattened terminals and softened joints, giving counters a slightly rectangular feel. Proportions are steady and grid-like, with consistent character widths and spacing that reinforce a structured, mechanical rhythm.
Well suited to short-form display uses where a firm, high-impact presence is needed: posters, headers, product packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. The regular, grid-like rhythm also fits UI labels, badges, and technical or industrial-themed graphics where consistency and compactness are priorities.
The overall tone is pragmatic and workmanlike, evoking labeling systems, equipment markings, and no-nonsense signage. Its softened corners keep the voice approachable despite the dense weight, lending a subtle retro-industrial flavor rather than a purely cold technical one.
The design appears intended to combine a robust, engineered structure with rounded detailing, balancing toughness and friendliness. It aims for consistent spacing and predictable shapes to support clear, repeatable typography in functional display contexts.
Text samples show strong vertical emphasis and tight internal spacing that hold up well at larger sizes, where the rounded geometry becomes more apparent. The numerals and punctuation match the same squared-and-softened logic, supporting consistent texture across mixed content.
