A compact, heavy sans with squared geometry and generously rounded corners, giving many glyphs a superellipse/rounded-rectangle skeleton. Strokes are largely uniform with minimal contrast, and curves transition into straights with crisp, controlled joins. Counters are tight and rectangular-leaning, and terminals tend to end flat, reinforcing a blocky, engineered rhythm. Overall spacing feels efficient and dense, producing a strong, poster-ready texture.
Best suited for display sizes where its dense, squared-round forms can project authority and clarity. It works well in headlines, posters, and signage, and can support branding or packaging systems that want a modern, industrial feel. For longer text, it will be most effective in short bursts such as UI labels, callouts, and technical headings.
The tone is pragmatic and no-nonsense, with an industrial, tech-leaning voice. Its rounded-square construction reads contemporary and functional, suggesting equipment labeling, interfaces, and modern branding where strength and clarity are prioritized over warmth or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, compact sans optimized for impact, using rounded-rectangle geometry to balance toughness with approachable corners. It prioritizes uniform weight, efficient width, and a consistent modular logic across letters and numerals for system-like consistency.
The uppercase set is particularly rigid and modular, while the lowercase introduces straightforward, compact forms that keep the same squared-round logic. Numerals match the set’s sturdy construction, with rounded-square bowls (notably in 0/8/9) that maintain consistent visual weight.
