A compact, heavy sans with monolinear strokes and squared, superellipse-based counters. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms, giving O/C/Q and the bowls of B/P/R a boxy softness rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly straight and blunt, with slightly rounded corners that keep the texture cohesive at display sizes. The lowercase is built on a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, and the overall rhythm is tight and efficient, producing a dense, even color across lines. Figures follow the same squared-round construction, with sturdy, legible shapes and minimal stroke modulation.
Well suited to headlines and short emphatic text where a dense, high-impact texture is desired, such as posters, packaging callouts, and sports or industrial branding. The compact, squared-round construction also works well for signage and UI labels when a sturdy, technical voice is needed.
The tone is utilitarian and no-nonsense, mixing a contemporary, engineered feel with a slightly retro, industrial signage character. Its crisp geometry and compact proportions read as confident and technical, with a controlled friendliness coming from the rounded corners.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, space-efficient sans that retains warmth through rounded-rectangle geometry. The emphasis appears to be on consistent texture, punchy display presence, and clear, robust letterforms built from a coherent superellipse system.
Diagonal-heavy letters like A, V, W, X, and Y are drawn with strong, straight strokes that emphasize the font’s angular backbone, while rounded glyphs keep their corners softened to maintain consistency. The lowercase forms stay simple and sturdy, favoring closed apertures and compact joins for a solid, poster-ready texture.
