A heavy, geometric sans with squared curves and superellipse-style bowls. Strokes are consistently thick and clean, with rounded outer corners and tightly managed apertures that keep the silhouettes compact. Curves resolve into flattened, rectangular arcs rather than true circles, and terminals are predominantly straight-cut with gentle rounding. The overall rhythm is dense and sturdy, with simple, engineered shapes and minimal modulation across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and display roles where its compact, high-impact shapes can carry branding and messaging. It also works well for signage and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, engineered look and clear, simplified letterforms.
The tone is modern and industrial, with a tech-forward, engineered feel. Its blocky forms and softened corners balance toughness with approachability, reading as confident and contemporary rather than playful or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust geometric voice built from rounded-rectangle logic—maximizing impact and consistency while keeping forms friendly through softened corners. It emphasizes a contemporary, functional aesthetic optimized for prominent, attention-grabbing typography.
Distinctive details like the squared, rounded-rectangle “O” forms and the narrow, vertical stress in many curves give the face a consistent, modular texture. At larger sizes it presents strong graphic impact, while in text the tight apertures and dense letterforms create a bold, compact color on the page.
