A heavy, compact sans with squared-off proportions softened by generously rounded corners. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and counters, giving round letters a rounded-rectangle feel rather than true circular geometry. Terminals are blunt and clean, strokes stay consistent, and spacing is relatively tight, producing a dense, punchy texture in text. Many forms favor closed or semi-closed apertures and minimal detail, with robust numerals and simplified punctuation shapes.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and short text where strong silhouettes and a compact rhythm help carry impact. It can also work for packaging and signage when a sturdy, contemporary voice is desired, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded-square construction reads clearly.
The overall tone is direct and workmanlike, leaning toward a contemporary industrial voice. Its blocky silhouettes and softened corners feel tough but approachable, projecting clarity and confidence without elegance or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a solid, space-efficient sans that balances toughness with friendliness by pairing block-like construction with rounded corners. Its consistent geometry and restrained detailing suggest an emphasis on quick recognition and strong presence in modern graphic layouts.
In the grid, key shapes such as O/C/G and the bowls of B/P/R show a consistent rounded-rectangle construction, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) remain sturdy and minimally tapered. The lowercase maintains simple, sturdy structures with compact counters, which increases impact at display sizes and creates a darker, more uniform rhythm in longer lines.
