A heavy, compact sans with squared-round construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and blocky, with counters carved as rounded rectangles that keep interior space tight but legible. The uppercase set feels tall and sturdy, while the lowercase is built from the same modular geometry, favoring flat terminals, short joins, and simplified curves. Numerals follow the same squarish rhythm, producing a cohesive, signage-like texture in words and lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold brand systems where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable. It also fits signage and packaging that benefit from sturdy forms and rounded corners that stay clear at a distance or on backlit displays.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, with a modern industrial flavor. Its chunky, rounded-rect geometry reads confident and functional, suggesting equipment labeling, sports identity, or contemporary tech interfaces rather than delicate editorial typography.
The typeface appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a clean, engineered feel—using rounded-rectangle forms to balance blunt strength with friendly corners. Its consistent geometry and tight counters suggest an emphasis on identity, labeling, and display settings where shape recognition is key.
The design relies on a strong superelliptical skeleton: bowls and shoulders are squared off before turning into smooth radii, creating a distinctive “machined” softness. Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for solid headline blocks, producing dense, even color when set in paragraphs at large sizes.
