A compact, heavy sans with squared-off curves and rounded corners, giving bowls and rounds a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle feel. Strokes stay largely even, with firm verticals and broad terminals that keep edges crisp while avoiding sharp corners. Counters are relatively tight and geometric, producing dense, stable word shapes; diagonals (as in V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and simplified rather than calligraphic. The overall rhythm is regular and mechanical, with a slightly condensed stance and strong black presence in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium text settings where impact and clarity matter—headlines, subheads, and prominent UI or labeling. Its dense, squared-round forms also work well for branding, packaging, and signage where a strong, contemporary presence is needed at a glance.
The font reads as modern and no-nonsense, with an industrial confidence that feels engineered rather than expressive. Its rounded-square geometry softens the tone just enough to feel contemporary and approachable while remaining assertive and emphatic. The result is a practical, punchy voice suited to clear, direct messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust geometric sans with softened corners—combining strict, engineered structure with rounded-rectangle curves for a distinctive, contemporary silhouette. It prioritizes presence and legibility through compact proportions, even stroke construction, and consistent superelliptical rounding.
Uppercase forms appear particularly sturdy and uniform, while lowercase maintains the same squared-curve logic for a cohesive texture. Figures are bold and compact, designed to stand out clearly in the flow of text. Spacing looks controlled and efficient, reinforcing a tight, impactful typographic color.
