A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a squared, superelliptical construction. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and counters, with crisp, consistent corner radii and largely uniform stroke weight. Many joins and terminals are cut with angled, chamfer-like facets, creating a machined rhythm across the alphabet; apertures and counters tend to be compact, keeping the silhouette dense and punchy. The lowercase follows the same blocky geometry with a high, dominant x-height, while figures echo the same squared-rounded forms for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where dense, high-impact letterforms are an advantage. It also works well for signage, packaging, and product UI elements that benefit from a sturdy, engineered look. In longer settings, generous tracking and line spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels engineered and assertive—more industrial signage than editorial refinement. Its rounded-square geometry reads modern and tech-adjacent, while the angled cuts add a sporty, performance-minded edge. The result is bold and direct, projecting confidence and impact.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a cohesive rounded-square geometry and a consistent, machined detailing language. The angled cuts and compact counters suggest an aim toward contemporary, industrial versatility—distinctive enough for display use while remaining structurally simple and systematic.
The sample text shows strong color and tight internal space, which increases presence but can make long passages feel dense. The distinctive chamfered cuts become a key identifying feature, adding character without breaking the geometric system.
