A compact, heavy sans with squared-round construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and softened corners, while verticals and horizontals stay firm and even. Counters are generally small and squared-off, giving letters a dense, economical color. Terminals tend to be blunt or subtly chamfered, and joins are clean and mechanical, producing a consistent, engineered rhythm. The uppercase feels sturdy and uniform, while the lowercase keeps a simple, one-storey approach in key shapes, maintaining the same boxy, superelliptical logic. Numerals echo the same rounded-rect geometry, with closed forms and minimal interior whitespace.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where a dense, geometric voice is desired. It also fits packaging and wayfinding-style applications that benefit from sturdy shapes and a controlled, engineered look.
The overall tone reads functional and machine-made—confident, no-nonsense, and slightly futuristic in a retro way. Its compact, squared-round forms suggest equipment labeling, transport graphics, and tech interfaces rather than editorial softness.
The letterforms appear designed to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a cohesive text system, prioritizing impact, consistency, and an industrial/technical character. The tight counters and blunt terminals suggest an intention to stay compact and legible in bold applications while maintaining a distinctive, hardware-like personality.
The design relies on repeated superellipse-like bowls and tight apertures, which creates strong presence at display sizes and a distinctly modular silhouette. The dot on i/j is compact and square-ish, reinforcing the systemized, industrial feel.
