A heavy, geometric sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction in the curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a strong color on the page. Terminals are predominantly flat and square, while bowls and shoulders stay smoothly rounded, creating a crisp but softened silhouette. Letterforms favor simple, closed shapes (notably in C, O, S, and 0), with straightforward, stable diagonals in V/W/X and a tightly built lowercase that reads solid at larger sizes.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and branding systems that need a strong, compact voice with clean geometry. It should also work well for signage and packaging where bold letterforms and simplified shapes help maintain legibility at a distance or in challenging production contexts.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, with a modern, industrial cleanliness tempered by rounded geometry that feels approachable rather than severe. Its weight and compact rhythm make it feel assertive and dependable, suited to messaging that needs clarity and presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense, geometric forms and a softened superellipse curvature, balancing strict modern construction with approachable roundness for contemporary display use.
The sample text shows strong headline performance with even spacing and a uniform, blocky rhythm. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, matching the letterforms’ rounded-rectangle logic, which helps maintain consistency across mixed alphanumerics.
