A heavy, compact sans with squared-off proportions and generously rounded corners throughout. Bowls and counters are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing superellipse-like curves and a consistently sturdy silhouette. Strokes are uniform and bluntly terminated, with minimal contrast and a tight, efficient rhythm that keeps shapes dense and legible. Apertures tend to be narrow and controlled, and the overall spacing reads steady and engineered rather than airy or calligraphic.
Best suited to display roles where impact and quick recognition matter—posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and bold UI labels. It holds up well at large sizes and in short-to-medium text runs where its compact, blocky rhythm adds presence without needing ornament.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial confidence that also feels sporty and slightly retro-futuristic. Its rounded-square construction gives it a friendly edge, but the mass and compactness keep it assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual strength with a clean, geometric voice: a rounded-rectangle take on a bold grotesque that reads modern, durable, and highly reproducible across print and screen.
Several forms emphasize stability and signage clarity: rounded interior corners, short cross-strokes, and simplified joins that avoid delicate details. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangular logic, matching the letters’ weight and footprint for cohesive display setting.
