A compact, squared-round sans with superellipse-driven curves and rectangular counters. Strokes are heavy and even, with smooth corner rounding that keeps joints crisp rather than soft. The proportions feel slightly condensed and vertically sturdy, producing a tight rhythm in text. Curved letters like C, G, O, and S show flattened arcs and restrained apertures, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) emphasize a solid, engineered silhouette. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with wide bowls and firm horizontal terminals.
This font suits headlines, posters, and branding systems that need a sturdy, contemporary presence. It also works well for signage and interface typography where a compact, high-impact word shape is desirable, particularly at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is modern and no-nonsense, with a technical, industrial flavor. Its blocky geometry reads confident and pragmatic, leaning more toward functional signage and interface clarity than warm editorial expression.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical sans for bold display and system-like applications, prioritizing uniform stroke strength, compact spacing, and an engineered visual rhythm.
Round forms are notably squarish, and the counters tend to be rectangular, which increases the sense of structure. The lowercase set maintains a steady, compact footprint; single-storey a and g reinforce the geometric, contemporary voice. In the sample text, the dense letterfit and closed apertures create strong color, especially at larger sizes.
