A compact, heavy sans with a squared-off, superellipse construction and gently rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, creating strong color and a stable rhythm, with apertures kept relatively tight and counters leaning toward rounded-rectangle shapes. Curves and diagonals feel controlled and engineered rather than calligraphic, and the overall proportions favor efficiency and punch in headlines and short lines.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a dense, high-impact sans is needed. It also works well for signage and labels thanks to its firm geometry and consistent stroke width, especially at medium to large sizes where the tight apertures remain clear.
The tone is assertive and practical, with an industrial clarity that reads as straightforward and no-nonsense. Its rounded-square geometry softens the impact just enough to feel modern and approachable while still projecting strength and authority.
The design appears intended to provide a strong, space-efficient sans that feels engineered and contemporary. By combining squared forms with rounded corners and uniform strokes, it aims for a balance of toughness and approachability for prominent display typography.
The uppercase set shows sturdy, rectangular internal spaces (notably in letters like B, D, O, P, R), while the lowercase maintains the same compact, built-from-blocks logic. Numerals are similarly weighty and structured, suited to prominent labeling and emphatic data display.
