A heavy, squarish sans with rounded-rectangle construction and crisp, orthogonal joins softened by generous corner radii. Curves are pulled toward superellipse shapes, giving counters and bowls a boxy, engineered feel rather than circular geometry. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, strokes are consistently thick, and spacing reads sturdy and compact, with wide, stable capitals and slightly tighter lowercase forms. Figures follow the same squared, softened logic, with sturdy stems and simplified interior shapes for high impact at display sizes.
Best used for headlines and short, high-impact copy where bold presence and clear silhouettes matter most. It suits logos, packaging, signage, and poster work, as well as UI hero text or labels where a modern, engineered aesthetic is desired.
The overall tone is confident and utilitarian, with a contemporary, machine-made presence. Its rounded corners keep the voice approachable, while the blocky silhouettes and dense color feel assertive and performance-oriented—well suited to tech-forward or industrial branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a softened, geometric chassis—combining the authority of blocky forms with rounded corners for a friendlier, contemporary edge. It aims for consistent, systematized shapes that stay legible and distinctive in display contexts.
The rhythm emphasizes broad horizontal and vertical structure, producing strong sign-like silhouettes. Openings and counters are kept relatively compact, prioritizing punch and solidity over delicacy, and the forms remain consistent across letters and numerals for a cohesive, system-like look.
