A heavy, compact sans with squared, superellipse-like contours and generously rounded corners. Strokes keep a consistent thickness, with counters and apertures cut as rounded-rectangle shapes that create a strong, modular rhythm. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, and many curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving letters a sturdy, engineered feel. The overall spacing and proportions favor tight, punchy forms that read as blocks while remaining clean and controlled.
Well-suited to display roles where a strong, compact presence is needed, such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for signage-style text or interface labels when set at larger sizes, where the robust shapes and squared rounds reinforce a modern, utilitarian aesthetic.
The tone is bold and functional, with a contemporary industrial character. Its squared rounds and solid silhouettes suggest strength, equipment labeling, and modern sports or tech branding rather than delicate editorial typography. The voice feels confident and direct, optimized for impact and clarity at a glance.
The design appears intended to merge the neutrality of a sans with a distinctive squared-round geometry, creating a sturdy, contemporary display voice. Its consistent stroke weight and modular counters suggest an emphasis on bold legibility and a cohesive, engineered look across the character set.
Distinctive glyph cues include a geometric, squared ‘O’ and similarly constructed numerals, plus a capital ‘Q’ with a clear, angular tail. The lowercase set mirrors the same rounded-rectangle logic, maintaining a consistent, system-like construction across letters and figures.
