A heavy, geometric sans with squared-round (superellipse-like) bowls and softened corners throughout. Strokes are monolinear with blunt terminals, giving a dense, stable color on the page. Counters tend to be rectangular/rounded-rectangle in feel, with generous interior openings that keep forms clear despite the weight. Curves and joins are tightly controlled and consistent, creating an engineered rhythm; diagonals (as in A, V, W, X, Y) read sturdy rather than sharp. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, with an especially boxy 0 and compact, sign-like 2–5 shapes.
Best suited to display-forward roles where solidity and clarity are needed: headlines, brand marks and wordmarks, packaging, signage, and UI labeling. The dense strokes and squared-round forms help it hold up in high-contrast environments and bold typographic layouts.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, mixing a utilitarian, industrial sensibility with approachable rounded corners. It feels purpose-built and technical, like interface labeling or product typography, while still reading friendly rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, engineered look built from rounded-rectangle geometry, combining strong impact with clear, legible counters for practical display and interface use.
Round dots and punctuation pair with the softened geometry, and the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike construction that prioritizes clarity. The broad, blocky shapes create strong presence at headline sizes and maintain recognizable silhouettes in shorter UI strings.
