A heavy, squared-round sans built from rounded-rectangle curves and flat terminals. Strokes are uniform and low in contrast, with broad proportions and generous internal counters that keep forms open despite the weight. Corners are consistently softened, producing superelliptical bowls in letters like O, C, and D, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) stay straight and assertive. Numerals follow the same geometry, with wide, rounded-square shapes and sturdy horizontal cuts.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where impact and clarity are needed, such as branding, posters, packaging, and wayfinding or signage. The wide stance and open counters help it hold up in large-format applications and bold typographic layouts.
The overall tone feels technical and industrial, with a sporty, no-nonsense presence. Its rounded corners temper the mass, giving it a friendly, contemporary edge while still reading as strong and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong display sans with a rounded-rectangular construction—combining industrial solidity with softened corners for approachability. It prioritizes clear silhouettes, consistent geometry, and a modern, utilitarian feel.
Uppercase shapes lean toward squared construction (notably E, F, T, and Z), while lowercase maintains a pragmatic, single-storey feel where applicable and keeps counters large for clarity. The design’s rhythm is steady and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing legibility at display sizes.
