A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are even and firm, with generous interior rounding that creates squared bowls and counters rather than circular ones. Curves transition quickly into flats, producing a sturdy, engineered rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. The lowercase is simple and geometric, with mostly single-storey forms and short, squared terminals; punctuation and numerals follow the same blunt, highly legible, sign-like logic.
This font performs best in headlines, posters, labels, and signage where its dense forms and rounded-rect geometry can read clearly at a distance. It also suits packaging and brand marks that want a robust, engineered feel. For longer passages, it works most comfortably at larger sizes with ample leading to offset the compact counters.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, with a retro-tech flavor reminiscent of equipment labeling and mid-century display typography. Its rounded corners temper the mass, keeping it friendly while still feeling tough and functional. The texture reads confident and assertive, suited to attention-grabbing statements rather than subtle text color.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a controlled, geometric voice—combining blocky mass with rounded corners for a pragmatic but approachable display style. Its consistent construction across cases and numerals suggests a focus on system-like cohesion for modern graphic applications.
Apertures tend to be relatively closed and counters compact, which increases density and impact. The design’s superelliptical geometry gives it a distinctive “rounded square” identity that stays consistent from letters to figures, helping it hold together in large blocks of copy or tight layouts.
