A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-inspired curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes stay largely uniform, with tight apertures and rectangular counters that give letters a machined, modular feel. The condensed proportions and short, flat terminals create a dense rhythm, while bowls and curves resolve into softened right angles rather than true circles. Overall spacing reads controlled and slightly tight, emphasizing a solid, blocky texture in lines of text.
Well suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and wayfinding where a strong, compact word shape is desirable. Its sturdy, modular construction also fits tech, automotive, and industrial-themed branding, and it can work for short UI labels or badges when ample size and spacing are available.
The design conveys a technical, engineered tone—confident and no-nonsense—with a subtle retro display flavor reminiscent of digital-era signage and industrial labeling. Its rigid geometry and softened corners balance toughness with approachability, producing a modernist, functional voice that still feels stylized.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a coherent geometric system. By building letters from rounded-rectangle forms and tight apertures, it aims for a distinctive, engineered aesthetic that remains legible and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Distinctive features include squared-off round letters (O, C, G) with rounded rectangles, a compact lowercase with single-storey forms, and numerals that maintain the same boxy logic for strong set cohesion. The font’s dense silhouette makes it visually commanding, especially at larger sizes where the geometric detailing is most apparent.
