A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and many curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and counters. Proportions read broadly set with generous width and a steady, even rhythm; apertures are relatively tight, giving the shapes a compact, solid color. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, producing crisp silhouettes while maintaining a friendly softness from the rounding.
Best suited to display settings where impact and clarity are needed, such as headlines, poster typography, brand wordmarks, packaging, and product labeling. It can also work for short UI labels and navigation elements where a strong, modern voice is desired, though the dense shapes are more at home at larger sizes than in long-form text.
The overall tone is confident and utilitarian, balancing modern friendliness with an assertive, industrial presence. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the dense, block-like forms feel direct and functional—well suited to contemporary tech and product language.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, contemporary sans built from rounded-rectilinear geometry, prioritizing strong silhouette recognition and a cohesive, system-like consistency across letters and numbers.
Round letters such as C, G, O, and Q emphasize squarish bowls and counters, reinforcing a “soft rectangle” theme. Numerals follow the same sturdy geometry, with large interior spaces and clear, simplified forms that match the alphabet’s weight and stability.
