A heavy, compact sans with a squared-off, superelliptical skeleton: round letters are built from rounded rectangles, and curves terminate in flattened, softly radiused corners. Strokes are uniform with minimal modulation, producing a dense color and strong silhouette. Proportions feel slightly condensed in many capitals, while counters are tight but kept open by consistent internal rounding. The lowercase is compact with short extenders and a single-storey “a” and “g”; terminals are mostly blunt, and joins stay crisp without calligraphic flare.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display settings where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable. The squared-round forms work well for signage and wayfinding, product packaging, and brand marks that need to feel modern, durable, and slightly technical. It can also serve UI labels or dashboards when set with generous spacing to preserve legibility.
The font reads as pragmatic and engineered, with a confident, no-nonsense tone. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly softness to an otherwise industrial voice, evoking signage, labeling, and contemporary product typography rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to blend a modern, engineered geometry with softened corners for approachability. Its goal is likely a sturdy display sans that retains clarity under bold, compact shapes while maintaining a consistent, system-like rhythm across letters and numerals.
The numerals and capitals emphasize solidity through squared bowls and straight-sided curves, and the overall rhythm is even and blocky. In text, the tight fit and narrow apertures create a strong, poster-like presence that favors larger sizes and short lines where clarity and impact matter.
