A heavy, geometric sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) skeleton. Curves are squarish rather than circular, and corners are broadly softened, creating a consistent pillow-like contour across rounds such as C, G, O, and S. Strokes are thick and even, with relatively closed counters and narrow apertures that emphasize a compact, blocky texture. Terminals are generally blunt, and many joins resolve into clean, squared transitions, producing a modular rhythm that stays uniform from capitals through numerals.
Best suited to display settings where strong color and geometric clarity are assets: headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a robust, friendly-industrial voice is desired, but the dense counters make it more comfortable at larger sizes than in long text.
The overall tone is retro-industrial with a subtle tech flavor—confident, sturdy, and slightly playful due to the softened corners and chunky proportions. It suggests utilitarian signage and mid-century display lettering while still feeling contemporary enough for bold interface or product labeling.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a unified rounded-rect geometry—combining the authority of a heavy grotesque with softer corners for approachability. The consistent superelliptical shaping across rounds and terminals appears intended to create a distinctive, easily recognizable voice in branding and display typography.
The caps read as tall and strong with minimal curvature in straight-sided letters, while the lowercase maintains a consistent, compact footprint with simple, single-storey forms where applicable. Numerals match the same squared-round logic and heavy color, helping mixed text and figures feel cohesive in headlines.
