A compact, geometric sans built from squared-round (superellipse-like) forms and sturdy, even strokes. Curves are tightened into rounded-rectangle bowls, with broad, flat terminals and minimal modulation, giving letters a dense, efficient texture. Counters stay relatively open for the weight, while joins and shoulders remain firm and controlled; diagonals are crisp and the overall rhythm feels steady and engineered.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and short-form messaging where a dense, high-impact sans is needed. The compact geometry and open-enough counters also make it effective for signage and UI labels at medium-to-large sizes, especially in environments that benefit from a technical, contemporary voice.
The tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a confident, industrial clarity. Its squared-round geometry reads technical and contemporary rather than friendly or calligraphic, making it feel assertive and utilitarian in display settings.
Designed to deliver a robust, contemporary sans with squared-round geometry that stays clean under heavy weight and holds a consistent, engineered rhythm. The emphasis appears to be on strong silhouette, efficient spacing, and clear, modern shapes for attention-grabbing text.
Round letters like O/C/G lean more squarish than circular, and many shapes favor straight-sided construction over fully continuous curves. The lowercase shows a single-story a and g with simple, compact bowls, and figures are sturdy with uniform presence, supporting a strong, blocky typographic color.
