A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse primitives, with broadly uniform stroke thickness and tight, squared counters. Corners are consistently softened, producing a sturdy, block-like silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase. Curves tend to resolve into flattened bowls and straight-sided arcs (notably in C, G, O, and S), while horizontals and verticals remain crisp and orthogonal. Terminals are mostly blunt, and spacing reads compact and efficient, giving text a dense, high-impact rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, short text, and display settings where a compact, high-contrast silhouette aids quick recognition—such as posters, packaging, brand wordmarks, product labeling, and UI display elements. The strong, squared rhythm also works well for numbers in dashboards, labels, and technical or industrial-themed compositions.
The overall tone feels technical and industrial, with a retro-futurist flavor reminiscent of labeling, equipment markings, and digital-era display typography. Its rounded squareness softens the severity without losing authority, balancing friendliness with a mechanical, engineered character.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust geometric voice based on superelliptical construction—prioritizing consistency, punch, and a modern-industrial feel while keeping corners rounded for approachability. It aims for clear, repeatable shapes that hold up in bold display use and structured layouts.
Distinctive forms include a squarish ‘O’ with softened corners, an angular ‘S’ with flatter curves, and a ‘Q’ featuring a vertical tail integrated into the bowl. Numerals match the same rounded-rect geometry, creating strong consistency between text and figures.
