A heavy, squared sans with rounded corners and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) counters that create a compact, blocky texture. Strokes stay consistently thick, with simplified terminals and minimal contrast, producing strong, uniform color in text. Curved letters (C, G, O, S) are built from softened rectangles rather than true circles, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are straight and crisp, giving the design a disciplined, engineered feel. Numerals are wide and solid, with the 0 and 8 especially showing the font’s signature rounded-rectangular inner shapes.
This style performs best in display contexts where a bold, geometric voice is needed—headlines, poster typography, signage, product packaging, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation elements when set with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is functional and contemporary, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its softened corners keep it approachable, but the geometric squareness reads as technical and industrial rather than friendly or whimsical.
The font appears designed to deliver a strong, modern voice through rounded-rectangular geometry and consistent stroke weight, balancing a technical, engineered silhouette with softened corners for broader usability in contemporary branding and display settings.
The design favors compact apertures and tight internal spaces, which boosts impact at larger sizes but can make small-size settings feel dense. The lowercase is straightforward and highly legible, with simple forms and strong vertical emphasis.
