A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and large, open counters. Strokes are monoline and dense, with broadly squared curves and softened corners that keep the texture smooth even at large sizes. The x-height reads tall and the lowercase is compact, with short extenders and broad bowls that produce a strong, blocky rhythm. Apertures tend to be tight and terminals are clean and blunt, emphasizing a sturdy, engineered feel.
Best suited for headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where a bold, high-visibility voice is needed. The sturdy shapes and simplified details also fit wayfinding and large-format signage, as well as short UI labels or badges when ample spacing is available.
The overall tone is confident and upbeat—more friendly than aggressive due to the rounded geometry, yet still forceful because of the mass and compact spacing. It evokes contemporary display typography used for punchy, high-impact messaging where clarity and presence matter more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified geometry and rounded-rectangular curves, balancing a strong, industrial presence with approachable softness. It prioritizes uniformity and bold legibility for display settings over fine typographic nuance.
Round forms like O/0 and bowls in B/P/R are notably squarish, creating a consistent superelliptical motif across the set. In text, the weight and compact proportions create a dark, poster-like color that benefits from generous leading or tracking when used in longer lines.
