A very heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a strong, even color on the line. Terminals read as blunt and squared-off rather than tapered, and curves tend toward superelliptical shapes (notably in C, O, S, and the bowls of b/d/p/q). The lowercase is large relative to the caps, with short ascenders and descenders that keep text tight and efficient; punctuation and figures match the same blocky, rounded logic for a cohesive, sturdy texture.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and display settings where maximum impact and quick recognition are needed. It works well for branding systems, packaging, and signage that benefit from a compact, robust voice; in longer passages it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with ample leading.
The overall tone is assertive and straightforward, with a contemporary, industrial clarity softened by rounded corners. It feels energetic and attention-grabbing without becoming decorative, balancing toughness with approachability.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, contemporary sans that remains friendly and legible by using superelliptical, rounded-rectangle geometry and consistent stroke weight. Its large lowercase and compact vertical proportions suggest a focus on dense, efficient setting for bold messaging.
At text sizes the heavy weight compresses interior space, so letterforms rely on clear silhouettes and generous sidebearings for separation. The figures are bold and stable, with rounded forms that maintain consistency alongside the uppercase.
