A compact, heavy sans with squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing solid counters and strong color on the page. Curves terminate in blunt, clean endings, while internal shapes (like O, 0, and bowls) read as softened rectangles rather than true circles. The uppercase is broad and stable with straight-sided structure, and the lowercase follows a simple, workmanlike rhythm with short extenders and clear, uncluttered forms.
This design works well for UI and product labeling where strong legibility at small-to-medium sizes is needed, and it scales effectively for headlines, posters, and signage thanks to its dense texture and simplified shapes. It also suits contemporary branding that wants a robust, engineered look without sharp, aggressive corners.
The overall tone is modern and pragmatic, with a sturdy, no-nonsense voice that still feels approachable due to the softened corners. It conveys clarity and confidence, leaning more toward functional communication than expressive flair.
The font appears intended as a high-impact, highly legible sans that emphasizes geometric regularity and softened corners for a contemporary, versatile voice. Its shapes prioritize clear silhouettes and consistent rhythm, suggesting a design aimed at functional display and interface typography.
Numerals are blocky and highly legible, matching the font’s squared-round geometry; the 0 appears as a rounded rectangle that stays distinct from letterforms. Diacritics shown (like the i/j dots) are compact and square-like, reinforcing the constructed, technical feel.
