A heavy, geometric sans built from squarish, rounded forms with large counters and softly chamfered corners. Curves tend toward superellipse-like rounded rectangles, giving bowls and terminals a compact, engineered feel rather than a purely circular one. Strokes remain consistently thick, with tight apertures in letters like C and S and sturdy, rectangular interior spaces in forms such as B, P, and R. The lowercase follows the same blocky geometry, with simplified joins and short, flat terminals; numerals are equally robust, with the 0 featuring a diagonal slash and the 1 drawn as a clean, upright stem.
Best suited to branding, logos, headlines, posters, and packaging where a confident, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work for UI titles, labels, and signage when clarity at a distance and a solid, contemporary feel are priorities.
The overall tone is assertive and modern, with a tech-forward, athletic energy. Its rounded-square geometry reads friendly but forceful, balancing approachability with a distinctly industrial, logo-ready presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a clean, geometric language, using rounded-rectangular construction to feel contemporary and engineered. It prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and a cohesive, modular rhythm across the character set.
At larger sizes the tight openings and dense silhouettes create a strong, poster-like rhythm, while at smaller sizes those same compact apertures may feel more closed, emphasizing mass over delicacy. The set maintains a consistent visual system across capitals, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, constructed look.
