A sturdy sans with a superelliptical construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes and terminals often feel softly squared rather than purely circular. Strokes are thick and even, with compact apertures and a generally closed, efficient silhouette. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and a looped “g,” while forms like “o/0” and “Q” emphasize the rounded-square geometry; the “Q” uses a short diagonal tail. Numerals are straightforward and sturdy, with a simple “1” and a more open, curved “2,” keeping a consistent, engineered rhythm across the set.
It suits bold headlines, branding systems that want a contemporary, engineered look, and poster or packaging typography where a compact, high-impact sans is useful. It can also work for short UI labels and signage where sturdy shapes and consistent rhythm are priorities.
The overall tone is contemporary and matter-of-fact, projecting strength and practicality more than friendliness. Its rounded-square curves add a subtle softness to an otherwise industrial voice, making it feel modern and dependable rather than sharp or delicate.
The design appears intended to combine the clarity of a straightforward grotesque with a distinctive rounded-square geometry, creating a recognizable, modern voice without resorting to decorative quirks.
Large counters and clear internal shapes help the design hold together at bigger sizes, while the relatively tight openings and compact proportions give it a dense, headline-ready presence. The superellipse motif is especially noticeable in round letters and in the squared-off feel of bowls and shoulders.
