A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are uniform and dense, with wide counters and squared-off curves that create a compact, engineered texture. Terminals tend to be flat and blunt, and many letters emphasize straight stems with rounded transitions rather than true circular bowls. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with a single-storey “g” and a compact, workmanlike “a,” while figures are similarly blocky with generous interior space for clarity.
This design suits bold headlines, branding marks, and packaging where a rugged, modern-industrial feel is desired. It can also work well for signage and UI labels that benefit from compact shapes and clear, sturdy forms, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels industrial and tool-like: confident, direct, and functional. Its rounded-rect geometry adds a friendly softness to an otherwise technical, utilitarian voice, evoking retro hardware labeling and contemporary interface signage at the same time.
The letterforms appear designed to merge geometric efficiency with rounded-corner approachability—delivering a strong, legible display sans built on rounded-rect forms for a distinctly modern, engineered character.
The font’s rhythm is strongly modular, with consistent corner radii and an intentionally squared curvature that keeps shapes stable at larger sizes. The sample text shows a dark, even color and high impact, suggesting it is best used where presence and quick recognition matter more than delicacy.
