A compact, all-caps-friendly sans with squarish, superellipse construction and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and heavy, producing dense counters and a strong, even color across lines. Curves are simplified into rounded-rectangle bowls and shoulders, while joins and terminals stay crisp and controlled with minimal stroke modulation. The overall geometry favors vertical stability and tight internal spacing, giving the alphabet a sturdy, engineered rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and brand marks where impact and clarity matter at medium-to-large sizes. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage-style applications that benefit from compact geometry and strong silhouettes, including UI or product-style titling where an engineered aesthetic is desired.
The tone is pragmatic and modern, with an industrial, tech-leaning presence. Its chunky, squared forms feel confident and no-nonsense, suggesting machinery, interfaces, and utilitarian labeling rather than delicate editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, contemporary sans built from rounded-rectilinear geometry—optimized for visual punch, system consistency, and a clean, industrial character in display typography.
Uppercase forms read particularly well due to their broad, blocky silhouettes; rounded-corner construction keeps the heft from feeling harsh. Numerals match the same squared, compact logic, reinforcing a consistent system look in mixed alphanumeric settings.
