A sturdy geometric sans with softened, superellipse-like curves and squared-off terminals. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with a broad overall footprint and generous counters that keep forms open despite the weight. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle geometry (notably in O/C/G and the bowls), while diagonals and joins stay crisp, producing a clean, engineered rhythm. Numerals and capitals read as blocky and stable, with minimal modulation and an emphasis on even, rectangular proportions.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where impact and clarity are priorities: headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and brand wordmarks. The heavy, open shapes and rounded geometry also make it a natural fit for UI banners, product labels, and tech or industrial-themed graphics.
The tone is contemporary and utilitarian, with a tech-forward, machine-made feel. Its rounded corners temper the heaviness, giving it an approachable modernity rather than an aggressive or sharp edge. Overall it projects confidence, clarity, and a straightforward, functional voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact geometric sans that remains friendly through rounded-rectangle construction. It balances strict, engineered structure with softened corners to maintain legibility and an approachable, contemporary character in bold display settings.
The lowercase shows a single-story a and g, reinforcing a modern, simplified construction. Many letters exhibit subtly squared interior curves, creating a consistent “rounded box” motif across rounds and bowls. The punctuation and spacing in the sample text suggest a strong headline presence with clear word shapes.
