A heavy, squared-round sans with superelliptical bowls and softened corners, giving letters a rounded-rectangle footprint rather than purely geometric circles. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast and mostly straight-sided construction; counters are compact and slightly rectangular, contributing to a dense texture. Terminals are blunt and clean, apertures tend to be narrow (notably in forms like C, S, and e), and the overall rhythm reads tight and punchy. Numerals follow the same blocky, rounded-rect logic, with closed, sturdy shapes and simplified interior spaces for strong silhouette clarity.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display settings where dense, high-impact letterforms are an advantage. It should perform well for signage, packaging, and brand marks that need a tough, compact voice and clear silhouettes at larger sizes.
The tone is forceful and workmanlike, leaning industrial and signage-oriented rather than delicate or editorial. Its rounded corners soften the toughness just enough to feel friendly, but it still communicates solidity, authority, and a slightly retro utilitarian character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and instant legibility with a consistent rounded-rectangle geometry, balancing a rugged, industrial presence with softened corners for approachability. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a uniform typographic color suited to bold, attention-driven applications.
Round letters (O, Q, 0) appear more like rounded rectangles than circles, reinforcing a consistent superellipse theme across the set. The lowercase shows a pragmatic, compact construction with short extenders and sturdy joins, prioritizing impact and uniform color over openness.
