A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with squared terminals softened by consistent corner rounding. Counters tend toward squarish shapes, and many letters show relatively closed apertures, producing a compact, dense texture. The lowercase has a prominent x-height, short ascenders/descenders, and simple, functional construction; the overall rhythm feels tightly set and highly regular. Numerals match the same rounded-rectilinear logic, with sturdy curves and minimal modulation.
Works best for headlines, short copy, and brand statements where a strong geometric voice is desirable. It suits signage, packaging, and interface labels where clarity and a sturdy presence matter, especially in larger sizes and high-contrast applications.
The tone is modern and pragmatic, with an engineered, industrial feel. Its rounded corners keep it approachable, while the dense geometry reads as confident and no-nonsense—well suited to contemporary interfaces and technical branding.
Likely intended as a contemporary geometric workhorse that blends rectilinear construction with softened corners to feel both technical and friendly. The compact proportions and strong weight appear aimed at high-impact display typography and clear, repeatable system design.
The design emphasizes stability and uniformity over calligraphic nuance: joins are clean, curves are controlled, and shapes favor squared-off bowls and straight-sided stems. The bold mass and compact counters make it visually strong at display sizes, while the tight apertures can feel darker in longer passages.
