A compact geometric sans with squared, superellipse-like curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal contrast and mostly straight terminals, producing a sturdy, blocky silhouette. Counters tend toward rounded rectangles (notably in O/0, D, P, R, and 8), and joins are crisp with controlled curves. Proportions feel slightly condensed with tight apertures in letters like C, S, and e, giving the face a dense rhythm and strong horizontal presence.
Best suited to short-to-medium text where strong presence matters: headlines, poster typography, brand wordmarks, packaging, and wayfinding or product labeling. The dense forms and narrow openings make it most effective at larger sizes or in high-contrast applications where its sturdy geometry can read clearly.
The overall tone is utilitarian and tech-forward, with a sturdy, engineered feel reminiscent of hardware labeling and digital interfaces. Its rounded-square construction softens the heaviness, keeping it approachable while still reading as decisive and functional.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, modern sans with a rounded-rectangle construction that feels systematic and efficient. It prioritizes impact and consistency over delicacy, aiming for clear, contemporary communication in display-oriented settings.
Numbers and capitals appear especially uniform and modular, reinforcing a systemized look. The lowercase is straightforward and compact, with short extenders and simple shapes; the single-storey a and g further emphasize the geometric, contemporary voice. The uppercase A shows a distinctive triangular form with a low crossbar, contributing to a slightly futuristic character.
