A heavy geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving counters and bowls a squarish, machined feel. Strokes are consistently thick with clean terminals, and many joins are simplified into sturdy, block-like intersections. Uppercase forms read broad and stable, while the lowercase keeps a compact, chunky silhouette with single-storey shapes and minimal modulation.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where bold, compact shapes are an advantage. It also works well for labels, UI hero text, and short callouts that benefit from a sturdy, geometric presence. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous leading.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with a tech-industrial flavor driven by its squared curves and dense weight. It feels energetic and slightly playful at large sizes, like modern display lettering for bold statements. The rounded corners prevent it from feeling harsh, balancing toughness with approachability.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch while maintaining a consistent geometric system based on rounded rectangles. Its simplified joins and squared counters suggest a focus on modern, industrial clarity and strong logo-like legibility in display settings.
The alphabet shows intentional quirks that add personality, such as the Q’s angular tail and the strong, squared-off interior spaces in letters like O, D, and B. The numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, producing a cohesive, sign-like rhythm across words and figures. Spacing appears designed for headline clarity, with compact interiors that can darken quickly in dense text.
