A compact geometric sans with squarish, superellipse-like counters and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are monolinear with blunt terminals, producing a sturdy, blocky rhythm and tight interior space in many letters. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes rather than true circles, and the overall proportions feel condensed and tall, with simple, closed forms and minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same boxy logic, staying clear and firmly structured.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where its compact, high-impact texture can carry the message. It also works well for signage and wayfinding, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from an industrial, geometric feel with softened corners. In UI or product contexts, it can reinforce a technical, systemized aesthetic for labels and display text.
The tone is pragmatic and engineered: sturdy, no-nonsense, and contemporary. Its rounded-rectangle geometry adds a friendly softness to an otherwise industrial voice, suggesting equipment labeling, interfaces, and modern wayfinding rather than expressive or calligraphic typography.
Likely designed to deliver strong legibility and presence in a condensed footprint while maintaining a cohesive rounded-rectangle geometry. The softened corners appear intended to temper the rigid, technical structure, creating a modern display sans that feels both robust and approachable.
Spacing reads even and compact, emphasizing a strong vertical cadence in text. The distinctive rounded-rect construction is especially apparent in bowl letters and in the squared-off curves, which helps maintain a consistent, system-like texture across caps, lowercase, and figures.
