A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms with consistently softened corners and largely uniform stroke weight. Counters tend toward squarish shapes, and joins are clean and mechanical, creating a tight, modular rhythm across letters and numerals. Proportions are compact with short extenders and large, stable verticals; diagonals in letters like N, V, W, X, and Y are simplified into strong, chunky strokes. The overall texture is dense and high-contrast against the page, with clear, sturdy silhouettes and minimal internal detailing.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and brand marks where strong silhouettes and a compact, geometric rhythm are desirable. It also fits packaging, wayfinding, and product labeling that call for an industrial/technical voice and high visual impact.
The font reads as industrial and tech-forward, with a retro-futuristic edge reminiscent of stenciled labeling and display lettering. Its squared curves and compact spacing give it a no-nonsense, utilitarian attitude, while the rounded corners keep the tone approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a unified superellipse-based geometry, balancing strict, engineered structure with rounded corners for friendliness. Its simplified construction emphasizes legibility through bold forms and consistent shaping rather than fine detail.
Distinctive squared counters and rounded terminals help maintain consistency between straight and curved forms, especially in O/Q and the bowl letters. Numerals follow the same boxy, softened geometry, producing a cohesive set for data-heavy display. At smaller sizes the dense shapes may benefit from generous tracking to preserve interior clarity.
