A heavy, monoline sans with a squared‑round (superellipse) construction: straight stems and flat terminals are paired with generously rounded corners and rectangular counters. Curves tend to resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving letters a compact, blocky silhouette. The x-height is tall and the apertures are relatively tight, with counters that read as rounded rectangles (notably in B, D, O, P, and e). Overall spacing feels sturdy and even, supporting dense setting while keeping a consistent, geometric rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and identity work where bold, compact letterforms need to hold attention. Its sturdy shapes and tight apertures also make it a strong choice for signage and short UI labels at larger sizes, especially where a friendly industrial look is desired.
The overall tone is confident and utilitarian, with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It evokes industrial signage and retro display typography—solid, dependable, and slightly playful—without feeling delicate or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to merge geometric rigor with softened corners, producing a compact, high-impact display sans that remains approachable. The consistent squared-round system suggests a focus on strong silhouette recognition and rhythmic uniformity across letters and figures.
Distinctive details include a single-story a with a squared bowl, a compact g with a simple loop, and a w that forms a deep, double‑valley shape with pointed inner joins. Numerals are similarly blocky, with a wide, rounded 0 and a simple, vertical 1; the set reads clearly at display sizes and maintains the same squared-round logic as the letters.
