A compact, squared sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently heavy strokes. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving counters and bowls a superelliptical, boxy feel. Terminals are mostly flat and horizontal/vertical, and the overall spacing is tight, producing a dense, efficient texture. The lowercase is straightforward and functional, with simple joints and minimal modulation; figures are similarly blocky with rounded corners for a cohesive rhythm across text and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where density and punch are desirable, such as headlines, posters, and bold brand marks. It also fits packaging and signage that benefit from a compact footprint and clear, blocky letterforms.
The tone is industrial and technical, with a pragmatic, engineered presence. Its squared curves and firm weight read as modern and no-nonsense, evoking machinery, interfaces, and system labeling rather than warmth or calligraphy.
The font appears intended to deliver a space-efficient, high-impact sans built from rounded-rectangular forms, prioritizing uniformity and a strong silhouette for contemporary graphic and interface-forward applications.
The design emphasizes rectangular geometry throughout: rounded-square bowls, clipped-looking diagonals, and compact apertures that keep word shapes tight. This produces strong headline impact and a distinctive, slightly retro-tech flavor while remaining clean and highly structured.
