A compact, heavy sans with squared proportions softened by large, consistent corner rounding. Curves resolve into superellipse-like rounded rectangles, producing boxy counters and a uniform, low-contrast stroke weight. The design favors straight-sided geometry, short terminals, and tight apertures, with a slightly condensed feel and steady rhythm in text. Figures are chunky and structured, matching the letters’ squared, rounded-corner construction.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, geometric voice is needed. The dense, squared-round forms also work well for labels, packaging, wayfinding, and interface moments where clarity and impact matter more than a light reading color.
The overall tone is industrial and contemporary, with a technical, engineered character. Its sturdy shapes and compact spacing give it a sporty, utility-forward presence that reads as confident and no-nonsense, especially at display sizes.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical, high-impact sans that stays consistent across letters and numbers. It prioritizes solidity, compactness, and a modern industrial feel, making it effective for bold typographic statements and identity work.
Round characters like O, Q, and 0 share nearly the same squared-oval footprint, strengthening consistency across letters and numerals. The uppercase set feels especially compact and blocky, while the lowercase maintains the same geometric logic with simplified bowls and shoulders that keep texture dense and controlled.
