A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly radiused corners. Strokes are largely uniform, with broad, squared terminals and minimal modulation, creating a sturdy, monolithic color on the page. Counters tend toward rectangular or superelliptical shapes, and joins are clean and tightly controlled, giving letters a compact, engineered feel. The lowercase is built for clarity with simple, single-storey forms and short, sturdy extenders; overall spacing reads even and deliberate in text settings.
Best suited to display roles where its dense weight and rounded-rect geometry can project strength—headlines, posters, logos, and packaging. It also fits functional UI labels and signage-style typography where a compact, highly legible, engineered look is desired.
The tone is utilitarian and confident, balancing friendliness from the rounded corners with a no-nonsense, industrial solidity. It suggests contemporary product design and wayfinding—pragmatic, efficient, and slightly retro-tech without becoming playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, contemporary voice using superelliptical geometry and squared proportions, prioritizing consistent stroke weight and sturdy forms for high-impact communication.
Round letters like O and 0 appear very close in structure, emphasizing the squared-superellipse logic across the set. Numerals are wide and blocky with consistent weight and open interior shapes, reinforcing a signage-like presence. The overall rhythm stays stable in the pangram sample, producing strong impact at large sizes and a dense texture in continuous text.
