A compact, geometric sans with squared-round construction: curves resolve into rounded rectangles and superellipse-like bowls, while terminals end cleanly with minimal modulation. Strokes are heavy and even, with tight internal apertures and sturdy counters that keep forms dense and stable. Uppercase proportions are broad and straightforward, and the lowercase is similarly compact with a single-storey a and a closed, rounded e. Numerals follow the same blocky geometry, with rounded corners and consistent stroke weight that maintains a uniform, engineered rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where its dense geometry can read as intentional and impactful—such as posters, signage, packaging, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for UI labels or dashboard-style applications when a firm, technical voice is desired.
The overall tone is modern and pragmatic, leaning toward an engineered, industrial feel rather than friendly or calligraphic. Its dense shapes and squared-round curves project confidence and durability, with a technical, signage-like clarity.
The design appears aimed at delivering a robust, geometric sans with superellipse-inspired rounding—prioritizing consistency, strong silhouettes, and a contemporary industrial character for display-forward typography.
Distinctive squared bowls (notably in rounded letters and digits) and a generally tight aperture strategy make the texture feel solid at display sizes. The caps and figures read especially strong and poster-ready, while the lowercase retains a compact, functional presence.
