A compact geometric sans with squared-round, superellipse-like curves and straight-sided counters. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal contrast and blunt, mostly horizontal/vertical terminals. Round letters (O, C, G) feel closer to rounded rectangles than perfect circles, while joins and corners are softened rather than sharp. The lowercase is tight and compact with simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g), and the overall spacing reads dense and efficient. Numerals are broad and blocky with consistent stroke weight and rounded corners, matching the letterforms’ squared geometry.
This style fits best in display applications such as headlines, logotypes, packaging, posters, and wayfinding where a compact, modern look is desired. It also works well for UI labels and product titling when you want a dense, sturdy sans with geometric character.
The tone is contemporary and pragmatic, with an engineered, industrial flavor. Its compact proportions and firm stroke weight give it a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to systems, products, and signage rather than expressive or calligraphic settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient sans with rounded-rectangular geometry for a modern, system-like aesthetic. It prioritizes consistent stroke weight, simplified forms, and a compact footprint to stay clear and impactful in prominent text sizes.
Large apertures are limited and counters tend toward rectangular shapes, which reinforces a technical, modular feel. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are robust and stable, and the overall rhythm is consistent and grid-friendly, suggesting strong performance in short headlines and labels where a compact footprint is useful.
