A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle geometry throughout. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circular bowls, giving letters a superelliptic, machined feel. Strokes are monolinear with tight apertures and compact internal counters, and the overall rhythm is steady and square-shouldered. Uppercase forms are wide and sturdy, while lowercase maintains a tall, efficient profile with short extenders and simplified construction; numerals follow the same squared, rounded logic for consistent color in text.
Best suited to punchy headlines, posters, packaging, and branding that needs a strong, contemporary voice. It can also work for UI labels, navigation, and environmental graphics when set at sizes large enough to preserve clarity in the tight counters.
The font projects a bold, engineered tone—confident and utilitarian with a distinctly modern, tech-forward flavor. Its squared silhouettes and restrained detailing feel sporty and industrial, emphasizing impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive rounded-rectangular construction, aligning letters and numbers into a unified, modular system. It prioritizes a modern, functional look that reads as engineered and contemporary.
In running text the dense counters and narrow openings (notably in letters like a, e, s, and numerals) create a dark, compact texture that benefits from generous tracking and larger sizes. The overall design favors clear, modular shapes and strong presence in short phrases and display settings.
