A compact geometric sans built from squared, rounded-rectangle forms. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, creating a superelliptical feel in bowls and counters (notably in C, O, D, and 0). Strokes are heavy and consistent, with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly blunt with rounded edges. Proportions skew wide and steady, with tight apertures and rectangular interior spaces; the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike construction with simple single-storey forms and a sturdy, squared-off rhythm. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, reading cleanly and evenly in a set.
Works best for headlines, logos, labels, and short display text where its blocky rounded geometry can read as intentional and distinctive. It also suits UI titles, wayfinding, and product/tech branding that benefits from a compact, high-impact texture. For long passages, its tight apertures and dense rhythm may feel heavy, so it’s most effective when used with generous spacing and clear hierarchy.
The overall tone is modern and engineered, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its rounded-square geometry suggests technology, equipment labeling, and performance branding rather than soft or literary contexts. The weight and compact shapes give it an assertive, functional voice that feels at home in contemporary, system-like interfaces.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, contemporary sans with rounded-square construction for high-impact display use. By prioritizing consistent stroke weight, blunt terminals, and superelliptical bowls, it aims for a crisp, engineered look that remains friendly at the edges.
Letterforms favor squared bowls and clipped joins, producing a slightly condensed visual footprint and a consistent, modular texture in text. Openings in letters like S and G are relatively tight, reinforcing the sturdy, signage-like character.
