A geometric sans with a strong, blocky build and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves. Strokes are consistently heavy and largely monoline, with corners frequently chamfered or softened into clipped, octagonal turns. Bowls and counters tend toward squared shapes, giving round letters a compact, engineered feel, while curves are controlled and symmetrical rather than calligraphic. Spacing reads open and sturdy in text, with clear interior counters and simplified joins that keep the texture even at larger sizes.
Best suited to display use where its geometric construction and chunky forms can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It also works well for short UI labels or product names that benefit from a technical, industrial tone, though long passages may feel heavy due to the dense, squared texture.
The overall tone is modern and mechanical, leaning toward a futuristic, equipment-label aesthetic. Its squared rounds and cut corners create a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels at home in tech, transportation, and sport contexts. The rhythm is assertive and utilitarian, with a slightly retro-digital flavor rather than a friendly, humanist warmth.
The design appears intended to blend high-impact legibility with a distinctive superelliptic construction, using clipped corners and squared counters to evoke manufactured precision. It prioritizes a consistent, modular silhouette and a strong presence in mixed-case and alphanumeric settings.
Distinctive clipped corners show up across many shapes, producing a consistent “machined” profile. Several letters emphasize angular construction over smooth curvature, and the numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel unified.
