A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, compact counters and a strong typographic color. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, while bowls and rounds lean toward superelliptical shapes rather than perfect circles. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g”, a high-shouldered “r”, and a short, blunt “t”, contributing to a tight, efficient rhythm. Numerals are blocky and stable, with broad curves and closed forms that match the overall squared-round geometry.
Best suited to display contexts where strong presence and clarity are needed, such as branding, packaging, posters, and wayfinding or signage. The dense stroke weight and compact forms also make it effective for short subheads, labels, and UI callouts where a sturdy, modern tone is desired.
The tone is direct and contemporary, combining an engineered, no-nonsense feel with approachable roundedness. It reads as confident and functional rather than delicate, giving headlines a punchy, pragmatic voice with a hint of friendliness.
Likely intended as a robust geometric workhorse for contemporary display typography, emphasizing superelliptical construction for a distinctive, modern silhouette while staying clean and highly legible at larger sizes.
The overall footprint feels compact, with relatively small apertures and counters that help maintain solidity at large sizes. Its rounded-square geometry keeps curves from feeling overly soft, preserving a technical, structured character.
