A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly even stroke weight. Curves read as softened corners rather than true circles, giving the forms a sturdy, engineered feel. Counters are relatively small and oval/rectangular, apertures are tight, and terminals are clean and flat. The lowercase is plain and workmanlike, with single-storey shapes (notably for a and g) and short extenders that keep the overall texture dense and uniform.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and packaging where a compact, strong voice is needed. It also works well for signage and UI labels that benefit from sturdy shapes and consistent rhythm, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, balancing industrial solidity with a subtle friendliness from the rounded geometry. It feels contemporary and functional, with an assertive presence that reads quickly and holds its shape at distance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and clarity in a tight footprint, using rounded-rectilinear geometry to stay approachable while remaining firmly utilitarian. It prioritizes uniform texture and punchy presence for display and brand-forward typography.
Diagonal letters (like K, V, W, X) are wide-shouldered and strongly braced, while rounded letters (O, Q, C, G) keep a squarish skeleton that reinforces the family’s technical rhythm. Numerals match the same compact, robust construction, supporting clear hierarchy in mixed alphanumeric settings.
