A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms with squared bowls and consistently softened corners. Strokes are largely uniform with minimal modulation, producing a solid, blocky texture and a compact rhythm. Counters tend to be squarish and relatively tight, with generous inking at joins that reinforces a constructed, modular feel. The lowercase is simplified and sturdy, and the figures follow the same rounded-rectilinear logic for a cohesive, signage-like presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding, and short statements where a strong, engineered look is desirable. It also works well for packaging, labels, UI headers, and wayfinding-style applications that benefit from a robust, geometric wordshape.
The overall tone feels technical and industrial, with a retro-futurist edge reminiscent of interface labels, equipment markings, and sci‑fi titling. Its dense silhouettes and squared curves convey strength and straightforwardness rather than softness or elegance.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact geometric sans with a distinctive superelliptical skeleton—combining rounded corners with squared structure—to evoke a modern, machine-made aesthetic while remaining broadly legible for display typography.
The design leans on repeated geometric motifs (rounded corners, flat terminals, squared counters), which helps it stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The compact spacing and tight apertures boost impact at display sizes, while the very dark weight can make internal shapes feel closed at small sizes.
