A heavy, compact sans with squared, rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing a sturdy silhouette with tight apertures and boxy counters, especially in rounded letters. Terminals are mostly flat and horizontal/vertical, with occasional beveled joins that add a slightly engineered feel. Lowercase forms are tall and simplified, and the numerals follow the same squared, superelliptical logic for a highly consistent texture in lines of text.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and branding where a bold, compact texture is desirable. It can work well for sports and tech identity systems, packaging, and signage that benefits from high-impact letterforms. In longer text, its tight apertures and dense weight suggest using generous size and spacing for clarity.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its rounded-square geometry reads modern and sporty rather than friendly, projecting strength and control. The tight, blocky shapes evoke equipment labeling, performance branding, and contemporary tech interfaces.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical, high-impact sans that stays consistent across letters and numerals. It prioritizes a sturdy, engineered look and strong presence, aiming for quick recognition and a modern, industrial voice.
Rhythm is very regular and grid-like, with a strong emphasis on verticals and squared curves that keeps word shapes compact. The design’s closed apertures and dense color favor larger sizes, where the distinctive superellipse forms and rounded corners remain clear.
