A heavy, compact sans with squared-round (superellipse-like) bowls and corners that read as rounded rectangles rather than pure circles. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a sturdy, uniform color in text. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend toward closed or narrow, while terminals are mostly flat or softly rounded at the corners. Uppercase forms feel tall and stable with broad shoulders and simplified geometry; the lowercase follows suit with chunky proportions and short-looking extenders. Numerals match the same squared-round logic, giving a cohesive, signage-friendly set.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where its compact, blocky forms and squared-round curves read clearly at a distance. It also fits labeling, packaging, and signage systems that benefit from a robust, uniform texture and an industrial-modern aesthetic.
The overall tone is pragmatic and industrial, with a no-nonsense presence that feels engineered rather than expressive. Its rounded-rectangle geometry adds approachability to an otherwise firm, authoritative voice, suggesting modern utility and technical clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient sans for modern communication—combining strict, engineered geometry with softened corners to maintain friendliness and legibility in bold messaging.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep the dense shapes from clogging in larger settings, but the tight counters and narrow apertures can create a solid, block-like texture in paragraphs. The design’s consistent corner treatment and squared bowls give it a distinctive, systematized rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
