A heavy, blocky sans with squared-off curves and generously rounded corners, giving most bowls and counters a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) feel. Strokes are uniform and dense, with tight joins and minimal modulation, producing a strong, compact texture in text. Terminals are flat and blunt, apertures tend toward semi-closed shapes, and the overall construction favors broad, stable forms over delicate detail. Numerals follow the same sturdy geometry, with wide, squared curves and solid internal counters.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where strong presence and a modern, engineered look are desirable. It can work well for branding, packaging, signage, and UI/wayfinding accents that benefit from bold, compact letterforms and rounded-rectangular styling.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a contemporary, machine-made character. Its rounded-rectangle geometry adds approachability to an otherwise tough, industrial voice, making it feel sporty and tech-forward rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a contemporary geometric flavor, combining robust, uniform strokes with softened corners for a friendly-but-industrial display voice.
In running text the weight creates a dark, even color, and the rounded-square detailing becomes a defining motif across letters and figures. The shapes read cleanly at display sizes where the softened corners and compact counters are most noticeable.
