A compact, squared sans with heavy, even strokes and softened corners throughout. Round letters are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing boxy counters and a consistent superelliptical rhythm. Terminals are predominantly flat and horizontal/vertical, with occasional angled joins that sharpen the silhouette in letters like A, K, and V. The lowercase is sturdy and utilitarian, with single-storey forms (notably a and g), short ascenders/descenders, and tight internal spaces that emphasize density at display sizes. Numerals follow the same squared, engineered construction with strong vertical stress and simple, closed shapes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, labels, and signage where a compact, high-impact word shape is useful. It can work well for branding in tech, tools, sports, or industrial contexts, and for packaging that benefits from strong, space-efficient typography.
The overall tone is tough and functional, evoking industrial labeling, machinery, and no-nonsense signage. Its compact width and squared curves add a slightly retro, techno flavor, reading as confident and directive rather than friendly or delicate.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum punch in a narrow footprint while maintaining a coherent, geometric construction. The rounded-rectangle foundation suggests an intention to bridge technical clarity with a distinctive, slightly retro display character.
The design’s tight apertures and chunky joins create a dark, impactful texture in paragraphs, especially where letterspacing is default. The rounded-corner rectangle motif is very consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping it feel unified and systematic.
