A heavy geometric sans with softly rounded corners and superellipse-driven bowls that read as squared-off circles. Strokes are thick and even with minimal modulation, producing dense, compact counters and a steady, mechanical rhythm. Proportions feel tall and efficient, with large, simple shapes and short joins that keep letters looking solid at display sizes. The lowercase follows the same blunt geometry, with rounded terminals and a single-storey “g,” while numerals are wide, bold, and strongly rectangular in construction.
Best suited for headlines, branding, packaging, and signage where bold, compact shapes need to remain legible and impactful. It also works well for short UI labels or badges that benefit from a sturdy, high-contrast-against-background presence, while extended reading is likely better reserved for larger sizes and generous spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, balancing a utilitarian, industrial backbone with approachable roundedness. It feels confident and direct rather than delicate, projecting clarity and impact without becoming sharp or aggressive.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, geometric display voice built from rounded-rectangular primitives, prioritizing visual punch and consistency across letters and numerals. The rounded corners appear intended to soften an otherwise industrial, block-like construction for a more approachable contemporary feel.
Round forms (C, O, Q, 0) lean toward squared curves, giving the font a distinctive “rounded-rectangle” silhouette. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are crisp and weighty, and punctuation appears large enough to hold up alongside the heavy letterforms. In longer text, the dense weight and tight interior spaces create a strong, poster-like voice rather than a light, airy texture.
