A compact, heavy sans with squared proportions softened by consistently rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with a tight internal rhythm and relatively closed counters that emphasize solidity. Uppercase forms read slightly condensed and geometric, while lowercase maintains a tall, efficient profile with straightforward construction and minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, producing a cohesive, signage-like texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where strong silhouette and immediate readability matter. It also fits UI labels, wayfinding, and packaging systems that benefit from a robust, geometric sans with rounded-square character.
The overall tone is functional and high-impact, with a technical, engineered feel. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly edge to an otherwise industrial voice, suggesting contemporary interfaces, equipment labeling, and performance-oriented branding.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a modern, durable look built from superelliptical (rounded-rectangle) primitives, balancing strict geometry with softened corners for approachability. The consistent stroke and compact apertures reinforce a clear, no-nonsense presence in display and labeling contexts.
The design favors compact counters and firm terminals, which strengthens presence at display sizes and in short strings. In longer lines, the dense color and tightened openings create a bold, uniform texture that prioritizes impact over airiness.
