The design is a heavy, monoline sans built from straight strokes and squarish bowls softened by generous corner rounding. Curves resolve into superellipse-like forms, producing compact counters and a controlled, modular rhythm. Proportions are relatively tall with clean vertical emphasis, while terminals are mostly flat and squared, keeping the overall silhouette crisp even as corners remain softened.
It suits headlines, UI labeling, dashboards, posters, and packaging where a strong, structured voice is needed. The compact, squared shapes also work well for logos and wordmarks that want an engineered or industrial feel. It is especially effective at medium-to-large sizes where the geometric details and rounded corners read cleanly.
This typeface projects a sturdy, engineered confidence with a slightly retro, utilitarian edge. Its rounded-rectangle curves and firm terminals create a friendly but no-nonsense tone, reading as contemporary, technical, and built for clarity rather than delicacy.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize solidity and legibility through simplified geometry and consistent stroke weight. Rounded-square construction suggests an intention to feel modern and technical while avoiding harshness, balancing strict structure with approachable softened corners.
Distinctive rounded-rectangle bowls are evident across curved characters (such as C, D, O, Q, and lowercase o), while diagonal letters (K, V, W, X, Y) maintain sharp, stable joins. Numerals follow the same squared, compact logic, supporting consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
