A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with firmly squared structures softened by generous corner radii. Strokes are heavy and even, creating a monolinear, high-impact texture with minimal modulation. Counters tend to be boxy and open, and the curves read as engineered rather than calligraphic. The lowercase is compact with a notably tall x-height, while capitals are broad and stable; overall rhythm is tight and modular, with flat terminals and crisp joints.
Best suited for headlines, branding marks, posters, and packaging where a sturdy, geometric voice is needed. The tall x-height and open, squared counters also make it a strong choice for user-interface labels, wayfinding, and short-to-medium text in tech-forward layouts—especially when clarity at a glance matters more than traditional warmth.
The design conveys a contemporary, machine-made tone—clean, tough, and purpose-built. Its softened corners keep it approachable, but the squared geometry and dense weight push it toward a technical, sci‑fi, and industrial feel.
The font appears designed to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical, contemporary sans that feels engineered and modern. It prioritizes solidity, consistency, and a modular silhouette that holds up in bold display settings while remaining readable in compact UI-style applications.
Distinctive squared rounds show up strongly in characters like O/0 and C/G, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) stay sharp and assertive against the otherwise softened system. Numerals share the same rounded-rect geometry, giving UI-like consistency in dashboards and labels.
