A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and a strongly uniform stroke. Letterforms are built from broad verticals and flattened curves, producing compact counters and a dense, even texture. Terminals are mostly blunt with softened corners, and curves (C, G, O, S) read more squarish than circular. The overall rhythm is steady and mechanical, with consistent proportions and simplified joins that prioritize solidity over delicacy.
Best suited for display use where impact and sturdiness matter—posters, bold headlines, wayfinding, labels, and packaging. It also fits UI accents and technical or industrial branding where a compact, engineered texture is desirable.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, evoking industrial labeling, equipment markings, and no-nonsense signage. Its squared-round shapes add a mild retro-tech flavor while staying straightforward and highly pragmatic.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a disciplined, engineered construction: a simplified geometric sans that remains friendly through rounded corners while staying firmly utilitarian and highly legible at display sizes.
In text, the weight creates strong color and clear word shapes, but the tight interior spaces and chunky details can make long passages feel dense. The numerals and capitals match the same squared-round logic, keeping a uniform, system-like voice across mixed content.
