A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like bowls and visibly rounded corners. Strokes are monoline and firmly weighted, with short terminals and minimal modulation, producing a dense, blocky rhythm. Curves feel engineered rather than calligraphic, and counters tend to be tight but clean, supporting strong word shapes in both uppercase and lowercase. The lowercase is notably tall relative to capitals, and figures follow the same sturdy, rounded-rectangle construction for consistent texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding systems that need a compact, high-impact voice. The dense color and rounded-rect geometry also make it a strong choice for signage, labels, and packaging where quick recognition and a sturdy presence are priorities.
The overall tone is confident and utilitarian with a friendly edge. Its rounded geometry softens the mass of the forms, giving a contemporary, approachable feel while still reading as tough and industrial. The texture suggests signage and product branding where clarity and punch matter more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space while maintaining a cohesive, geometric softness. Its consistent superellipse construction and heavy, even strokes suggest a focus on bold display clarity and a modern, engineered aesthetic.
Round letters (like o/c/e) read as squarish ovals, reinforcing the superellipse construction across the set. Joins and shoulders stay compact, keeping lines of text visually tight and emphatic, especially at headline sizes.
