A heavy, compact sans with squared proportions softened by rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast and clean, straight terminals, producing a strong, even texture in text. Counters tend toward rectangular and superellipse shapes, with tight apertures and a slightly condensed feel. The lowercase shows simplified, sturdy forms—single-storey "a" and "g"—and numerals are broad and stable with rounded corners that keep the overall silhouette cohesive.
This face is well suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a compact, high-impact sans is needed. It can also work for signage and UI labels at larger sizes where its sturdy shapes and rounded corners stay clear and distinctive.
The overall tone is contemporary and utilitarian, with an industrial clarity that feels confident and direct. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly softness without losing the authoritative, technical voice typical of robust display sans styles.
The font appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary sans voice built from rounded-rectangle forms, balancing firmness and approachability. Its simplified lowercase and dense, block-like construction suggest an emphasis on bold display clarity and geometric consistency.
The design maintains a consistent rhythm through repeated rounded-corner motifs across bowls, counters, and joins, helping it look unified at large sizes. The weight and compact spacing make it read as dense and impactful, especially in all-caps settings.
