A compact geometric sans with squared, superellipse-like bowls and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are monoline and sturdy, with straight-sided verticals and horizontals that create a crisp, engineered rhythm. Counters tend toward rounded-rectangle shapes (notably in O, D, P, and numerals), while joins and terminals are clipped and squared off, reinforcing a blocky silhouette. The lowercase is simple and functional with single-storey forms and minimal modulation; the overall spacing reads slightly tight, emphasizing a dense, sign-like texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short bursts of text where its squared-rounded geometry can lead the visual identity. It also works well for packaging, posters, UI labels, and signage that benefit from a strong, condensed texture and clear, engineered letterforms.
The tone is utilitarian and contemporary, with a distinctly technical, equipment-label feel. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly softness to an otherwise hard-edged, industrial voice, producing an energetic, sporty character that still reads controlled and systematic.
The font appears designed to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical sans for modern display use. Its consistent corner treatment and sturdy construction suggest an emphasis on clarity, durability, and a tech-forward personality across both text samples and standalone glyphs.
The design relies heavily on repeated corner radii and rectangular counterforms, which helps it stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The figures are similarly boxy and robust, matching the uppercase’s presence for interfaces and display settings where uniformity and impact are desirable.
