A compact, heavy sans with a squared-off, superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, and corners are consistently softened rather than fully circular. Strokes are thick and even with minimal modulation, giving the letters a dense, sturdy color on the page. Proportions skew slightly narrow and vertical, with short joins and truncated terminals that keep silhouettes tight. Many forms use relatively closed apertures and generous interior rounding, producing a clean, engineered rhythm that stays highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a strong, compact sans can carry emphasis and remain clear at a glance. It also fits signage and packaging applications that benefit from sturdy letterforms and a controlled, geometric rhythm.
The overall tone is assertive and practical, with an industrial, no-nonsense presence. Its rounded-rectangle geometry adds a modern, friendly edge without becoming playful, keeping the voice direct and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense strokes and superelliptical geometry, balancing a contemporary engineered feel with softened corners for approachability. It prioritizes clarity and presence in short text and large-scale settings while maintaining a consistent, systematic construction across glyphs.
The figures match the same compact, squared-rounded logic as the letters, supporting consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings. Uppercase shapes feel especially monolithic and sign-like, while lowercase maintains the same blocky stance, reinforcing a unified, uniform texture across lines.
