A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) bowls and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, with simple, open apertures and minimal modulation. Curves and straight segments meet cleanly, producing a compact, blocky rhythm that stays highly legible at display sizes. The lowercase is straightforward and utilitarian, with single-storey forms where expected (notably a and g), a square-ish i/j dot, and tabular-feeling numerals that read sturdy and stable.
Best suited to headlines, short-form messaging, and bold brand statements where its dense strokes and superelliptical construction can read clearly. It also fits signage, packaging, and UI/wayfinding accents that benefit from an engineered, contemporary feel.
The overall tone is contemporary and functional—confident, no-nonsense, and slightly industrial. Its rounded geometry keeps the voice approachable while the dense weight and squared curves add a technical, engineered feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric voice with high impact, using rounded-rectangle curves and sturdy proportions to balance friendliness with an efficient, technical character.
Round letters (O, C, G, Q) lean toward squarish geometry rather than true circles, reinforcing a systematic, constructed look. Diagonal forms (A, V, W, Y) are broad and strong, supporting a poster-like presence without becoming overly stylized.
