A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly curved corners. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, even color. Counters are relatively tight in letters like a, e, and s, while bowls in B, P, and R read as sturdy and contained. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, and the overall geometry favors upright stems, simple joins, and smooth, superellipse-like curves rather than circular rounds.
Best suited to display applications where strong presence and compact setting are useful, such as headlines, posters, wayfinding, UI labels, and packaging. It can also work for short paragraphs at larger sizes where a dense, uniform texture is desired.
The tone feels contemporary and functional, with an engineered, signage-like clarity. Its dense weight and squared softness project confidence and practicality rather than elegance, giving text a punchy, workmanlike presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a tough, space-efficient sans with softened corners—balancing strict geometry with friendly rounding. It emphasizes bold legibility and consistent texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals for practical, modern typographic systems.
Capitals are tall and blocky with a consistent rhythm, and diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) remain thick and stable without sharp, needle-like points. The lowercase shows simple, robust forms and compact apertures, helping maintain a unified texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with clear, bold silhouettes designed for quick recognition.
