A heavy, blocky sans with squared, rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into broad superellipse-like bowls, while terminals tend to end in flat cuts, creating a sturdy, uniform rhythm. The lowercase is compact with short-to-moderate ascenders and descenders, and the counters are relatively tight, emphasizing a dense, punchy silhouette. Numerals and capitals share the same squared curvature language, giving the set a consistent, engineered feel across letters and figures.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, product labels, and wayfinding where a compact, forceful presence is desired. It can also work for UI or technical readouts when a rugged, industrial tone is more important than a light, airy texture.
The overall tone is pragmatic and industrial, with a retro machine-stamped flavor. Its squared rounding reads confident and no-nonsense, evoking labeling, equipment markings, and functional display typography rather than delicate editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, highly consistent geometric voice built from softened rectangles—prioritizing solidity, regularity, and a mechanical visual logic that remains recognizable at a glance.
Round letters like O/C/G and bowls in B/P/R appear built from softened rectangles rather than true circles, reinforcing the geometric theme. Diacritics shown (e.g., i/j dots) are simple and sturdy, matching the weight and avoiding fine detail.
