A contrasted sans with broad proportions and a steady, upright stance. Many curves are subtly squared off, giving bowls and rounds a rounded-rectangle feel rather than purely circular geometry. Stroke contrast is visible across the design, especially where horizontals and joins read thinner than main verticals, while terminals stay mostly flat and crisp. Counters are generally open and generous, and the overall rhythm is even, with compact joins and tidy internal spacing.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where its contrast and wide proportions can read as a design feature. It works well for branding systems, packaging, and editorial display typography that benefits from a clean, contemporary voice with a technical undercurrent.
The tone feels modern and efficient, with a slightly industrial, technical edge created by the squared curves and firm terminals. Its contrast and wide set add confidence and presence, making the text feel direct and purposeful rather than soft or casual.
The design appears intended to blend modern sans simplicity with a more engineered silhouette—using squared rounding and measured contrast to create a distinctive, high-clarity texture. It aims for impact and legibility in display settings while remaining restrained enough for broader graphic use.
Uppercase forms project strong structure—particularly in letters with vertical stems—while lowercase introduces friendlier, more compact shapes (notably the single-storey-style forms and rounded bowls). Numerals are clear and sturdy, leaning on simple, architectural shapes that match the letterforms.
