A compact, heavy display sans built from squared-off rounds and superellipse-like curves, creating a strong rounded-rectangle skeleton across bowls and counters. Strokes read mostly uniform at a distance, but with noticeable contrast and shaping at joins, terminals, and inner corners that adds crispness and prevents clogging in tight spaces. Capitals are tall and narrow with generous vertical presence, while lowercase maintains a sturdy rhythm with relatively closed apertures and distinctly engineered curves. Numerals echo the same boxy-round geometry, with clear, high-impact silhouettes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, branding wordmarks, and packaging where a bold, engineered shape language is desirable. It also works well for signage and interface headers that need compact, high-impact letterforms and strong legibility at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels industrial and slightly retro, like modernized signage or equipment labeling with a refined, contemporary finish. Its squared curves and tight counters project confidence and efficiency, giving text a technical, purposeful voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears aimed at combining the friendliness of rounded forms with the discipline of squared geometry, producing a distinctive display sans that stays crisp under heavy weight. The consistent superellipse construction suggests an intent to look systematic and modern while retaining a recognizable retro-industrial character.
Inner corners and joins show deliberate carving and squaring that keeps forms from turning soft, especially in letters with arches and bowls. Spacing in the samples supports dense setting, and the font’s strong vertical stress makes it particularly striking in stacked lines and headline blocks.
