A heavy, blocky sans with squared-off geometry softened by rounded corners and superellipse-like bowls. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing strong, inky counters and a steady, even texture. Proportions are compact and vertical, with a tall lowercase that keeps words large and readable. Curves (C, O, S) read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are straight and forceful; terminals are flat and blunt throughout. The overall rhythm is highly regular, with consistent set widths and spacing that reinforce a fixed-grid feel in both the glyph chart and the text sample.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where strong impact and uniform rhythm are desirable, such as posters, headlines, signage, and packaging. It can also work well for bold wordmarks and UI labels where a rigid, grid-aligned texture and high visual presence are intentional, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font projects a utilitarian, industrial tone—confident, sturdy, and no-nonsense. Its rounded-rectangle construction adds a subtle retro-tech warmth, evoking labeling, equipment stenciling (without literal stencil breaks), and pragmatic interface typography. The weight and compact forms make it feel assertive and functional rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum solidity and consistency with a geometric, rounded-rectangle skeleton, optimizing for punchy legibility and a stable, system-like cadence. Its regularized construction suggests an aim toward grid friendliness and strong presence in display and labeling contexts.
Round letters maintain squarish bowls with relatively small apertures, contributing to a compact, high-impact color on the page. The lowercase shows simple, robust construction with minimal modulation, prioritizing uniformity and clarity in a grid-like setting. Numerals follow the same chunky, squared-round logic, designed to sit evenly alongside the letters.
