A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and soft corners throughout. Strokes stay consistently thick, with broad, flat terminals and minimal contrast, giving the letterforms a dense, sturdy texture. Curves tend toward superellipse shapes rather than true circles, and many joins are simplified into straight segments, producing a distinctly squared rhythm. Counters are compact and often rectangular, keeping the overall color dark and even in text.
Best suited to display sizes: headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where a bold, geometric tone is desired. It can also work for short UI labels, wayfinding, and product/industrial-style signage thanks to its simplified forms and strong silhouette.
The font reads as confident and utilitarian, with a friendly edge from its rounded corners. Its chunky geometry evokes a retro-tech and industrial sensibility, suggesting signage, equipment labeling, or bold display settings where clarity and impact matter more than delicacy.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a cohesive rounded-rect geometry, balancing hard-edged structure with softened corners. The consistent stroke weight and compact counters suggest an intention toward bold, high-contrast-in-context typography that remains stable and legible at larger sizes.
Uppercase forms feel especially architectural, with squared bowls and shoulders, while the lowercase keeps the same blocky logic and compact apertures. Numerals match the letterforms’ rounded-rectangle language, maintaining uniform weight and a sturdy, engineered presence. The overall spacing and dense counters create strong word shapes and a tightly packed typographic voice.
