A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with squared shoulders and softly radiused corners throughout. Forms are built from superellipse-like bowls and straight-sided verticals, producing a modular, engineered rhythm. Counters tend to be squarish and tightly enclosed, with simple joins and minimal curvature modulation. Proportions emphasize strong stems and short-to-moderate extenders, while the large lowercase presence and tight apertures keep the texture dense and punchy in lines of text.
Best suited to display roles where its compact, rounded-square construction can read clearly: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and wayfinding or product labeling. It also fits UI or device-like graphics when used at larger sizes, where the tight counters and sturdy strokes remain distinct.
The overall tone is bold and workmanlike, with a distinctly technical, machine-stamped feel. Its rounded-square geometry suggests retro futurism and industrial signage, projecting confidence and practicality more than elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary-industrial voice using a consistent superellipse geometry. It prioritizes solidity, uniformity, and a machined rhythm, aiming for immediate impact and a tech-forward, signage-friendly presence.
Uppercase shapes show consistent squared rounding and compact internal spaces; the lowercase follows the same geometry for a unified voice. Numerals match the blocky construction, with simple, stable silhouettes that read well at display sizes. In the sample text, the dense color and narrow openings make it most comfortable when given generous tracking and line spacing.
