A compact geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and consistently softened corners throughout. Strokes are heavy and even, with broad, squared terminals and minimal modulation, producing dark, blocky silhouettes. Counters tend to be rounded rectangles with tight internal space, and curves transition into straighter sides rather than fully circular bowls. Proportions feel slightly condensed and tall, with simple, utilitarian forms and clear separation between vertical stems and short, flat horizontals.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where its dense weight and rounded-rect geometry read as intentional design. It can also work for UI labels or signage at larger sizes where the compact counters remain clear and the sturdy shapes hold up in high-contrast applications.
The overall tone is contemporary and confident, balancing an industrial, engineered feel with approachable rounded corners. Its dense color and squared-round geometry suggest tech, interfaces, and modern branding while staying friendly rather than sharp or aggressive.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, modern sans voice built from superelliptical forms—prioritizing consistency, solidity, and a distinctive squared-round silhouette for attention-grabbing display typography.
The design maintains a strong, consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals, emphasizing uniform corner radii and sturdy shapes. Letterforms like the rounded-rect O/0 and the compact apertures in C/G/S reinforce the squared-off, engineered personality, while the single-storey a and g keep the texture simple and contemporary.
