A heavy, geometric sans with strokes built from rounded-rectangle geometry and consistently softened corners. Letterforms favor straight segments and squared bowls, with monoline construction and minimal modulation. Counters are relatively compact and often rectangular, and apertures tend to be tight, producing a dense, punchy texture. Uppercase proportions are broad and stable, while lowercase keeps a straightforward, engineered feel with simple terminals and a utilitarian rhythm; numerals follow the same squared, superelliptic logic with clear, blocky silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where its blocky superelliptic construction can read clearly: headlines, posters, logos and brand systems, packaging, and short UI or wayfinding labels. It can work for brief text in interfaces when ample size and spacing are available, but its dense counters and tight apertures suggest prioritizing titles and callouts over long paragraphs.
The overall tone feels modern and technical, with a confident, machine-made character. Its rounded-square shapes read as contemporary and digital, balancing friendliness from the softened corners with a firm, utilitarian presence.
The type appears designed to deliver a contemporary, engineered look through consistent rounded-rectangle forms and a sturdy, monoline build. The intention seems to emphasize clarity and impact with a distinctive squared softness that feels at home in tech-forward and product-oriented design.
The design relies on repeated radiused corners and flat terminals, creating strong consistency across letters and numbers. The narrow openings in letters like C, S, and G increase solidity and help the face hold up visually at display sizes, while also giving it a distinctive, compact voice.
