A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and noticeably softened corners. Curves tend to resolve into squarish bowls and superellipse-like counters, giving letters a sturdy, blocky silhouette while maintaining friendly roundness. Strokes are fairly even, terminals are mostly flat, and joins feel engineered rather than calligraphic; diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are strong and slightly narrowed. The lowercase is compact with simple, single-storey forms (a, g) and tight apertures, producing dense, high-impact word shapes in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and bold brand statements where its compact geometry can create strong blocks of text. It also fits logos, packaging, and contemporary signage/UI moments that benefit from a sturdy, rounded-industrial voice. For longer passages, it will work most comfortably at larger sizes where the tight apertures and dense color have room to breathe.
The overall tone is confident and utilitarian, with a contemporary, tech-and-sport edge. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable, but the compact, weighty forms read as forceful and poster-ready. The result feels like modern signage or equipment labeling—clean, tough, and slightly playful.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, geometric sans with a rugged, constructed feel—pairing squared-off structure with rounded corners to balance toughness and friendliness. It prioritizes impact, consistency across letters and numerals, and a strong silhouette for display-oriented typography.
Distinctive details include a squarish, rounded O/0 family, a geometric G with a firm horizontal bar, and numerals that keep the same rounded-rect logic for a cohesive set. In the sample text, spacing reads tight and rhythmic, emphasizing dark mass and punch over airy readability at small sizes.
