A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and a distinctly squared-off feel. Strokes are uniform and robust, with compact counters and generous internal rounding that keeps the shapes from feeling harsh. Curves (C, O, S) read as superelliptical rather than purely circular, and joins are clean and mechanical, producing a steady, even rhythm across lines. Numerals and capitals are substantial and stable, with simple, high-impact silhouettes and minimal detailing.
Works well for bold headlines, posters, and wayfinding where a compact, high-contrast-from-background silhouette is important. It also suits UI labels, dashboards, and product/packaging graphics that benefit from a technical, modular presence and consistent letter spacing.
The tone is functional and no-nonsense, leaning industrial and tech-oriented. Its blocky geometry and stout weight give it an authoritative, engineered voice with a slight retro computing flavor, especially in text settings.
Designed to deliver a sturdy, geometric voice with rounded-rectangular forms that read cleanly and consistently. The emphasis appears to be on strong, repeatable shapes and a dense typographic color suited to practical, high-impact communication.
Round forms stay consistently squared, which helps maintain a strong grid-like texture in paragraphs. The overall color on the page is dense and even, making the type feel punchy at display sizes and firmly legible in short text where a sturdy, mechanical character is desired.
