A heavy, geometric sans built from squared forms with generously rounded corners and smooth, monoline strokes. Counters tend toward rounded-rectangle shapes, giving letters like O, D, and Q a superelliptical feel, while straight-sided capitals (E, F, H, L, T) stay rigid and compact. The overall proportions read sturdy and space-efficient, with short apertures and broad joins that keep shapes dense at text and display sizes. Lowercase shares the same squared-round construction, with a simple single-storey a and g, a compact e, and a tall, clean i/j with square dots.
This design is well suited to high-impact headlines, poster typography, and brand marks that need a strong, contemporary presence. Its compact, rounded geometry also works well for signage, packaging, and UI labels where clarity and weight are helpful, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is direct and assertive, with a contemporary, utilitarian character softened by rounded corners. It balances a technical, engineered feel with approachable friendliness, making it feel energetic rather than austere.
The font appears intended to deliver a modern, industrial reminder of squared construction while maintaining warmth through rounded corners and smooth curves. The consistent stroke and dense silhouettes prioritize bold legibility and a cohesive, engineered rhythm across letters and numbers.
Diagonal letters (K, V, W, X, Y) are cut with crisp, straight strokes that contrast nicely against the softened curves elsewhere. Numerals are robust and tightly drawn, with rounded-rectangle bowls (0, 6, 8, 9) and a straightforward, vertical 1, reinforcing a strong, signage-like rhythm.
