A compact sans with a geometric skeleton and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) logic in its curves. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal modulation, producing dark, even texture in text. Corners tend to be slightly softened rather than sharp, and bowls read more squared-off than purely circular. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are modest, while verticals stay straight and stable for a firm, structured rhythm.
Works best where a strong, compact sans is needed for emphasis—headlines, short blocks of copy, and brand lockups. The dense stroke and sturdy shapes also suit interface labels, navigation, and signage where quick recognition and a controlled footprint are important.
The overall tone is modern and matter-of-fact, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its compact forms and dense color feel efficient and technical, leaning more toward clarity and impact than friendliness or warmth.
Likely designed to deliver a space-efficient, high-impact sans that keeps forms simple and consistent. The superellipse rounding suggests an intention to balance strict geometry with softened corners for smoother reading and a contemporary feel.
Uppercase forms appear tall and straightforward, while lowercase shows simple, workmanlike constructions (notably single-storey shapes where applicable) that keep the silhouette clean. Numerals match the same squared-round geometry and weight, giving UI-style consistency across mixed alphanumerics.
