A compact, heavy sans with squared proportions and softly rounded corners that push many curves toward superellipse-like forms. Strokes are low in contrast and consistently weighted, with a tall, efficient footprint and tight internal counters that stay open through simplified shapes. Terminals are largely blunt and clean, and curves transition into straighter segments with an engineered, rounded-rectangle logic. Overall rhythm is steady and economical, favoring legibility in dense settings over expressive calligraphy.
This font suits headlines, posters, and packaging where a compact, high-impact word shape is needed. It also performs well for UI labels, navigation, and wayfinding-style signage thanks to its sturdy strokes, clean terminals, and consistent, engineered rhythm.
The tone is functional and modern, with an industrial straightforwardness that reads confident and utilitarian. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly softness without losing a technical, signage-like presence.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary, space-saving sans that balances strict geometry with softened corners for approachability. It aims to deliver strong presence and clarity in short to medium text runs, especially in environments that benefit from an industrial, system-like aesthetic.
The uppercase set appears disciplined and compact, while the lowercase maintains the same geometric logic with simple, sturdy joins and minimal modulation. Numerals are similarly robust and space-efficient, matching the letterforms’ squared-round construction for consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric strings.
