A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are largely uniform, with minimal modulation, and counters lean toward squarish ovals rather than perfect circles, giving letters a sturdy, engineered feel. Proportions are tight and efficient, with short, broad bowls and relatively narrow apertures; terminals are clean and blunt. The lowercase is prominent with a large x-height and simple, single-storey forms (notably in a and g), while figures are robust and highly legible with wide, stable shapes.
Best suited for short-to-medium text at larger sizes where its compact rhythm and strong presence can anchor layouts—headlines, campaign graphics, labels, wayfinding, and bold UI moments. It can also work for brief informational copy when you want a clear, dense, high-impact voice.
The overall tone feels contemporary and workmanlike, balancing approachability from the rounded geometry with confidence from the dense weight. It reads as practical and straightforward, with a slightly tech/industrial character that still stays friendly rather than harsh.
Designed to deliver a strong, space-efficient sans built from rounded-rectilinear forms, prioritizing clarity and consistency while adding warmth through softened corners. The aim appears to be a versatile display-forward workhorse that stays legible and controlled across mixed-case and numerals.
Round forms like O/0 and C/G show superelliptical squareness, and joins/inner corners remain crisp enough to keep shapes from becoming overly soft. The punctuation and dots appear solid and emphatic, matching the heavy typographic color in text settings.
