A heavy, geometric sans built from squared forms with generously rounded corners and consistently thick strokes. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and counters, giving letters a compact, machined feel with crisp horizontal and vertical terminals. Counters are mostly rectangular and relatively tight, with occasional cut-in notches and stepped joins that emphasize a constructed, modular rhythm. Uppercase forms read sturdy and uniform, while the lowercase keeps simplified shapes and short ascenders/descenders for a dense, efficient texture in text.
Best suited to display roles where strong silhouette and high impact matter: headlines, branding marks, posters, product packaging, and bold interface titles. The compact counters and dense texture can feel heavy in long passages, but it performs well for short statements, labels, and punchy typographic graphics.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a distinctly technical, display-forward presence. Its rounded-square geometry evokes digital interfaces, industrial labeling, and retro-futuristic design, balancing friendliness from the softened corners with a tough, mechanical backbone.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact geometric voice rooted in rounded-rectangular construction, optimizing for strong recognition and a cohesive, system-like aesthetic. The simplified shapes and uniform stroke weight suggest an emphasis on modular consistency for branding and display settings.
The numerals and capitals are especially architectural, with squared-off apertures and minimal curvature beyond the corner rounding. Diagonals (such as in K, V, W, X, Y, Z) are straight and chunky, reinforcing a rigid, engineered look that stays consistent across the set.
