A heavy, geometric sans with a squared-off, superellipse construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing compact counters and a strong, even color in text. Round letters like C, G, O, and Q read as rounded rectangles, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and cleanly joined. Lowercase forms are simple and robust, with single-storey a and g, short-to-moderate ascenders, and a tall, straight-sided t with a broad crossbar. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, with squared bowls and clear, engineered shapes.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and display typography where a dense, high-impact presence is desirable. It works well for logos and wordmarks, packaging fronts, posters, and wayfinding or retail signage that benefits from a sturdy, rounded-rectangle geometry.
The overall tone is confident and utilitarian, with a friendly edge from the rounded corners. It suggests contemporary signage, athletic branding, and product-forward messaging—direct, bold, and approachable rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a clean, geometric system, combining rounded-rectangle curves with simplified letterforms for strong recognition. It prioritizes impact, consistency, and a contemporary, industrial-friendly personality.
The font’s tight apertures in letters like e and s and its compact interior spaces amplify impact at large sizes, while the uniform stroke and squared curves keep lines of text looking solid and steady. The Q’s inset tail and the squared terminals throughout reinforce a technical, fabricated feel.
