A heavy, geometric sans with squared, superellipse-based curves and consistently softened corners. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with tight interior counters and blocky terminals that emphasize a compact rhythm. Many forms show deliberate cut-ins and clipped joins (notches at corners and intersections), giving letters a constructed, engineered look. Round letters such as O/Q and digits like 0/8 read as rounded rectangles, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sharply faceted and sturdy. The lowercase is tall and sturdy with simple, boxy bowls and short, squared shoulders, keeping texture even in continuous text.
Best suited to display settings where its dense shapes and squared rounds can read large: headlines, posters, product branding, packaging, wayfinding, and bold UI moments. It can work in short text blocks when ample size and spacing are available, but the tight counters and heavy color favor prominent, high-contrast layouts.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical—confident, no-nonsense, and slightly retro-digital. Its squared curves and engineered cut details suggest machinery, labeling, and interface graphics rather than softness or handwriting. The weight and compact counters add an assertive, attention-grabbing voice suited to strong headlines.
The font appears designed to translate a rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical, high-impact alphabet that stays consistent across letters and numbers. The repeated notches and clipped joins look intentional, adding a functional, industrial accent while keeping overall forms clean and modern.
The design relies on a repeating system of rounded-rectangle curves and chamfer-like cuts, creating a distinctive “built” signature across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Numerals are especially boxy and sign-like, and the punctuation/dots appear solid and straightforward, supporting a pragmatic, display-forward character.
