A heavy, geometric sans with squared construction softened by rounded corners and frequent chamfered joins. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls, giving letters such as O, C, G, and Q a rounded-rectangle footprint rather than a true circle. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness with mostly flat terminals; diagonal joins and notches create an engineered, cut-metal feel in glyphs like K, M, N, W, and X. Counters tend to be compact and boxy, producing a dense, high-contrast silhouette on the page despite the uniform stroke weight.
Best suited to display contexts where its chunky geometry and rounded-rectangular rhythm can carry a strong visual identity—headlines, logos, product packaging, and environmental/signage applications. It also works for short UI labels or badges when a rugged, technical voice is desired, though the compact counters suggest avoiding very small sizes for dense text.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical—confident, utilitarian, and slightly retro-futuristic. Its squared geometry and clipped details evoke signage, machinery labeling, and performance branding, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to blend mechanical precision with softened, modern corners: a geometric toolkit for bold, high-impact typography. By using rounded-rectangle bowls and chamfer-like detailing, it aims to project strength and clarity while maintaining a distinctive, engineered personality.
The lowercase follows the same geometric logic as the uppercase, with single-storey forms and simplified apertures that prioritize strong shapes over calligraphic modulation. Numerals are similarly block-built, with rounded-rectangular bowls and straight-sided geometry that reads well at display sizes.
