A boxy, square-rounded display sans with superellipse construction throughout. Strokes alternate between very heavy verticals and much lighter horizontals, creating pronounced contrast and a crisp, engineered rhythm. Counters are mostly rectangular with rounded corners, and joins frequently form tight, notched transitions that read like ink traps or stencil apertures. Terminals are generally flat and squared, while curves are minimized into softened corners; overall proportions lean compact with tight apertures and dense color in text.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where its dense weight and sharp contrast can deliver impact without crowding. It performs well for branding, packaging, labels, and signage—especially where an industrial or technical feel is desired. In longer text, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes with generous tracking and line spacing.
The tone is utilitarian and confident, evoking industrial labeling, machinery, and mid‑century modern signage. Its squared geometry and strong vertical emphasis give it a technical, authoritative voice that feels both retro and contemporary.
The design appears intended to merge strict, modular geometry with softened superellipse corners, producing a display-oriented sans that feels engineered rather than humanist. The pronounced vertical emphasis and notched transitions suggest an aim for strong presence and reliable legibility in bold, attention-driven settings.
Uppercase forms present as rigid and modular, while lowercase introduces a slightly more typographic texture (notably in the arched and looped shapes) without breaking the family’s squared logic. Numerals match the same rounded-rectangle motif and maintain a sturdy, sign-ready presence.
