A compact, squared sans with softened corners and a superellipse-driven geometry. Strokes are consistently heavy and monolinear, with tight apertures and short interior counters that keep the silhouettes dense and sturdy. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls (notably in C, D, O, Q, and numerals), while terminals are mostly flat with subtle rounding. The lowercase is straightforward and vertical, with minimal modulation and pragmatic forms; the overall spacing feels even and workmanlike, producing a uniform, dark text color.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where a strong, compact presence is desirable—such as posters, product branding, packaging, UI labels, and directional/signage applications. Its dense texture and tight apertures can also help hold up in high-contrast, single-color usage.
The tone is functional and industrial, with a contemporary, engineered feel. Its squared curves and compact proportions suggest control, durability, and a no-nonsense attitude—more technical signage than editorial warmth.
Likely intended as a robust, contemporary grotesque alternative built around rounded-rectangle construction—combining a technical, industrial voice with friendlier softened corners for versatile display and branding use.
The design leans on rounded corners rather than true circular rounds, creating a distinctive “soft square” rhythm across both letters and figures. The numerals match the same squared geometry, reinforcing a cohesive, display-ready system.
