A heavy, squared sans with generously rounded corners and a superelliptical construction that keeps curves tight and controlled. Strokes are uniform and dark, with compact counters and mostly closed apertures that produce a dense, blocky texture. Uppercase forms are tall and rigid, while lowercase is simplified and compact, with single‑storey ‘a’ and ‘g’ and straight-sided stems. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, giving the 0/8/9 a distinctly squarish, engineered look.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where its rounded-square geometry can read as intentional and distinctive. It can also work for signage and interface labels at larger sizes, where the compact counters remain clear.
The overall tone is tough and functional, evoking industrial labeling and retro-tech display typography. Its soft-corner geometry adds approachability, but the compressed openings and firm vertical rhythm keep it assertive and no-nonsense.
The font appears designed to deliver a robust display voice built from rounded-rectangle primitives—prioritizing consistency, solidity, and a retro-industrial presence over delicate detail.
The design emphasizes straight segments with quarter-round terminals rather than fully circular bowls, which creates a consistent “machined” feel across letters and digits. In text settings it builds strong word shapes and a steady cadence, favoring impact over airiness.
