A compact, heavy sans built from squared-off, superellipse-like shapes with generously rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with tight apertures and broad interior counters that keep forms readable despite the dense weight. Curves resolve into rounded rectangles rather than true circles, and many joins show subtle notches and stepped terminals that give the outlines a machined, engineered feel. The lowercase is robust and compact, with short ascenders/descenders, while numerals and capitals keep a steady, billboard-like silhouette.
Best suited for headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where a strong, compact voice is needed. It also works well for signage or UI labels that benefit from squared, high-impact letterforms, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels industrial and performance-driven—more like equipment labeling or athletic branding than editorial typography. Its squared rounding and dense mass project solidity and control, while the slightly “cut” joins add a purposeful, technical edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, hard-working sans with rounded-square geometry—prioritizing presence, uniformity, and a technical/industrial personality over softness or calligraphic nuance.
In text, the rhythm is chunky and consistent, with strong word shapes and a noticeable preference for squared bowls and rounded-rect counters. The design’s distinctive details become more apparent at display sizes, where the small notches and angular joins read as intentional styling rather than artifacts.
