A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Curves tend to feel squarish and superelliptical rather than purely circular, with broad strokes and relatively tight internal counters that stay clean at display sizes. Proportions are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, and the lowercase shows a tall x-height with simple, single-storey forms and minimal modulation. Overall spacing reads even and blocky, emphasizing a stable, engineered rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to headlines, short UI labels, packaging, and branding where a bold, compact texture and rounded geometry read clearly. It also works well for signage and promotional graphics that need strong presence without sharp edges.
The tone is contemporary and approachable, with a utilitarian sturdiness that feels confident and straightforward. Rounded corners soften the mass, keeping it friendly rather than aggressive, while the compact apertures and squared curves add an industrial, tech-adjacent character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly edge: a geometric, rounded-rectangle skeleton that stays highly legible and visually consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, optimized for prominent, modern display use.
Notable are the rounded terminals on many strokes, the rectangular dot on the lowercase i, and the generally closed, compact openings in letters like e and s, which contribute to a dense, punchy texture in paragraphs. Numerals match the same rounded-rect geometry, producing a cohesive, sign-like presence.
