A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout, combining squared terminals with generously softened corners. Curves tend toward superellipse-like bowls and counters, giving letters like O, Q, and 0 a squarish roundness rather than perfect circles. Strokes are uniform and solid, with compact apertures and relatively tight interior spaces at this weight, producing a dense, steady texture in text. The lowercase is straightforward and single-storey where applicable, and the overall rhythm feels engineered and consistent, with slightly condensed-looking forms and short, blunt terminals.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a sturdy geometric voice. The rounded-rectangle shapes also work nicely for interface labels, navigation, and product/UI typography where a modern, technical feel is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is contemporary and pragmatic, reading as efficient and purpose-built rather than expressive or playful. Its rounded geometry adds approachability while the heavy weight and squared structure keep it assertive and industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric sans with a distinctive superellipse backbone—mixing squared structure with softened corners for a clean, durable look. It prioritizes consistent, engineered shapes and strong presence for display-oriented typography.
Distinctive squarish rounds appear across both letters and numerals, helping maintain a consistent silhouette in headings. The heavy stroke and compact counters make it most comfortable at display and large text sizes, where the rounded corners and interior shapes remain clear.
