A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and largely uniform stroke thickness. Curves resolve into broad, squared bowls and softened corners, producing a compact silhouette with stable proportions and tight-looking counters. Terminals are clean and blunt, and key joins (notably in letters like K, M, N, W) feel engineered and crisp rather than calligraphic. Numerals and lowercase share the same sturdy, squared-round logic, keeping texture consistent in continuous text.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and short emphatic copy where its compact, squared-round forms can read as a deliberate graphic choice. It can also work for UI labels, navigation, and signage-style applications where high impact and clear shapes are prioritized over delicate text rendering.
The overall tone is modern and no-nonsense, with an industrial, signage-like directness. Its squared-round geometry reads technical and contemporary, projecting confidence and practicality rather than softness or warmth.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, engineered voice by combining geometric structure with softened corners for approachability. The emphasis appears to be on consistent texture and strong presence, providing a clean display sans that feels technical without becoming sharp or aggressive.
Distinctive details include rounded-square bowls in letters like O/Q and a single-storey, blocky lowercase construction that maintains strong presence at display sizes. The strong weight and compact counters create a dense typographic color, so generous spacing and larger sizes help preserve clarity.
