A heavy, geometric sans built from squared curves and superellipse-like rounds, with noticeably rounded corners and largely uniform stroke weight. Counters tend toward rounded rectangles, and terminals are clean and mostly flat, giving letters a compact, engineered silhouette. Proportions feel slightly condensed with wide, stable verticals; curves are tightened and squared off (notably in C, G, O/Q and the lowercase bowls), creating a consistent, modular rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a simple i/j with square dots, and straightforward forms that emphasize clarity over calligraphic nuance.
This face suits headlines, logos, and packaging where a robust, modern voice is needed. It also works well for signage and interface elements that benefit from compact, high-impact letterforms and clearly differentiated numerals at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and utilitarian, with a distinctly technical, equipment-label feel. Its squared-round geometry reads confident and no-nonsense, projecting a controlled, industrial personality rather than friendly softness.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, engineered look by standardizing forms around rounded-rectangular geometry and consistent stroke weight. It prioritizes strong silhouette and visual consistency across the set, aiming for a contemporary, tech-forward impression that remains straightforward and readable.
The design’s character is driven by the tension between straight stems and squarish curves, producing strong word shapes at display sizes and a punchy texture in all-caps. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, appearing sturdy and highly uniform, which supports consistent alignment in UI or data-heavy contexts.
