A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes read as largely monoline, with minimal contrast and sturdy terminals that often end in flat cuts rather than tapers. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and S are squarish and superelliptical, creating a tight, controlled rhythm, while counters stay open enough to remain legible at display sizes. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a simple, vertical i with a round dot, and a y with a curved descender, reinforcing a practical, streamlined drawing.
This design is well suited to headlines, labels, and interface or signage contexts where quick recognition and strong presence matter. It can also support brand systems that want a modern, slightly industrial voice, especially when used in short to medium-length copy at larger sizes.
The overall tone is contemporary and workmanlike, combining a slightly technical, engineered feel with approachable softness from the rounded corners. It suggests efficiency and clarity rather than elegance, with a confident, sign-like presence that reads well at a glance.
The font appears intended to deliver a sturdy, contemporary sans built from superelliptical forms, balancing strict geometry with softened corners for friendliness. Its compact width and heavy color aim for efficient space usage and high-impact typography across modern graphic applications.
Figures follow the same rounded-rect geometry as the letters, giving numerals a cohesive, compact appearance. The bold weight and condensed proportions produce strong color on the page, making spacing and line breaks feel tight and purposeful in headlines and short blocks of text.
