A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with uniform stroke weight and softly chamfered corners throughout. Curves are square-leaning rather than circular, giving bowls and counters a compact, boxy feel, while terminals are consistently blunt and rounded. The caps are broad and steady, the lowercase is simple and utilitarian with mostly closed apertures, and the numerals follow the same rounded-square logic for a cohesive, modular texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, UI labels, and brand marks where its compact, rounded-square construction can read as intentional and modern. It also works well for signage and product/tech packaging that benefits from a sturdy, high-impact sans with controlled geometry.
The overall tone reads modern and engineered—like interface lettering or product labeling—balancing friendliness from the rounded corners with a purposeful, machine-made rigidity. It feels assertive and contemporary without becoming decorative, suggesting a technology-forward, systems-oriented voice.
The design appears intended to merge strict geometric construction with softened corners, creating a robust sans that feels both approachable and technical. Its consistent stroke behavior and modular curves suggest a focus on clarity and strong silhouette at larger sizes, especially in digital and industrial contexts.
In running text the dark color and tight, squared counters create a dense rhythm that favors display sizes. Distinct, engineered details (like the slashed zero and angular joins) reinforce a functional, technical character while keeping the silhouette smooth and consistent.
