A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with uniform stroke weight and softly squared corners throughout. The design favors broad proportions and a tall lowercase with short ascenders/descenders, producing compact vertical rhythm and strong horizontal presence. Terminals are blunt and clean, bowls are squarish rather than circular, and joins stay crisp, giving the face a sturdy, engineered feel. Counters are relatively tight in letters like a, e, s, and 8, while wider shapes like O and 0 retain generous interior space for clarity.
Best suited to short-to-medium text at display sizes where its dense weight and squared curves can deliver impact—headlines, packaging, posters, and bold brand wordmarks. It also works well for UI labels and navigation where a compact, geometric voice is desired, provided spacing and size are tuned to maintain counter clarity.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian with a modern, tech-forward character. Rounded corners and smooth curves keep it approachable, while the squared geometry and dense color read as assertive and industrial.
The font appears designed to deliver a strong, contemporary voice using a consistent rounded-rect geometry, balancing industrial solidity with softened corners for approachability. Its tall lowercase and compact extenders suggest an intention to maximize apparent size and presence in tight vertical spaces.
The uppercase set is especially uniform and block-like, making it feel signage-ready, while the lowercase keeps a single-storey a and g that reinforce the geometric construction. Numerals match the same rounded-rect logic, with the 1 staying simple and the 0 echoing the uppercase O for consistency.
