A heavy, squared sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are monolinear with minimal contrast, producing dense, dark letterforms and a compact rhythm. Counters tend toward rectangular shapes (notably in O, D, P, and 0), and terminals are predominantly flat, giving a machined, engineered feel. The lowercase is straightforward and sturdy, with simple bowls and short apertures; overall spacing reads tight-to-moderate, optimized for impact rather than delicacy.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a firm, modern presence is needed. It can also work well for signage and packaging that benefits from a technical, industrial look with friendly rounded corners. For longer passages, its dense color and compact apertures suggest using larger sizes and generous leading for comfort.
The tone is strong and pragmatic, with a contemporary, industrial voice. Its rounded-square geometry adds approachability to an otherwise hard-edged, technical impression, making it feel confident and functional rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, contemporary sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry—prioritizing clarity, impact, and a cohesive system feel across letters and numerals.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same squared, rounded-corner logic, reinforcing a highly consistent geometric system across the set. The font’s dark color and compact shapes make it especially noticeable in large sizes, where the superellipse details are most apparent.
