A sturdy sans with squared, superelliptical curves and broadly rounded corners that keep counters open while maintaining a compact footprint. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with a clean, engineered rhythm and minimal modulation. Curved letters like C, G, O, and Q feel more like rounded rectangles than circles, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) are crisp and orthogonal. The lowercase shows simple, functional construction with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” a flat-ended “t,” and a narrow, upright “r,” producing a dense, even texture in text.
Works well for headlines, UI labels, navigation, and wayfinding where a strong silhouette and consistent rhythm aid quick recognition. Its dense texture and boxy-round geometry also suit posters and modern branding systems that lean on clean, engineered forms.
The overall tone reads contemporary and pragmatic, with a slightly industrial, interface-ready feel. Rounded corners soften the weight, adding approachability without turning playful. It conveys clarity and confidence, suited to straightforward messaging where legibility and presence matter.
Likely designed to combine the sturdiness of a heavy, no-nonsense sans with softened geometry for a contemporary, screen-friendly voice. The superelliptical rounding and compact proportions aim for high visibility, clean alignment, and a distinctive but controlled personality.
Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, with a notably rectangular “0” and a “1” that’s clean and minimal. Diacritics shown (e.g., on “j”) are circular and straightforward. Spacing appears balanced and compact, creating a strong, blocky color in paragraphs and headings.
