A heavy, monoline sans with squared, superellipse-like curves and rounded-rectangle counters. The letterforms are compact and dense, with large x-height and short extenders that keep lines visually tight. Terminals are blunt and straight, with minimal modulation and a consistent, engineered rhythm; curves (C, G, O, 0) read as squarish ovals rather than true circles. The overall texture is dark and uniform, with generous internal counters for the weight and clear, simplified geometry across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, signage, and product labeling where a compact, sturdy presence helps text hold up at distance. It also works well for UI titling, dashboards, and technical readouts where consistent spacing and a regular rhythm support scanning.
The tone is industrial and no-nonsense, evoking signage, equipment labeling, and modern technical interfaces. Its blocky curves and steady cadence feel confident and mechanical, prioritizing clarity and impact over warmth or calligraphic nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary sans voice with a distinctive squared-round construction, optimizing for uniformity, compactness, and high contrast against backgrounds in display-oriented typography.
Round letters and bowls are notably squared-off, creating a strong “rounded rectangle” signature. The numeral set matches the same geometry and weight, producing a cohesive, utilitarian feel in alphanumeric strings.
