A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms and straight, monoline strokes. Corners are consistently softened, with many bowls and counters rendered as squared, inset apertures that give letters a cut-out feel. Terminals are predominantly flat and horizontal/vertical, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y, Z) are crisp and clean. Proportions are roomy and stable, with broad caps, compact counters, and a generally low-contrast, engineered rhythm that stays consistent from capitals to lowercase and numerals.
Best suited to display roles where its mass and geometric detailing can read clearly: headlines, logo marks, product packaging, poster titles, and branded systems for tech or sports contexts. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when set with generous spacing, but its distinctive counters and dense interiors make it less ideal for long, small-size paragraphs.
The overall tone reads as modern and machine-made—confident, technical, and slightly retro-digital. The squared inner shapes and rounded outer corners evoke sci-fi interfaces, sports branding, and arcade-era display typography, projecting speed and toughness rather than softness or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, contemporary display voice built on modular, rounded-rect geometry. By pairing softened outer corners with squared inner apertures, it aims for a tech-forward look that feels engineered and cohesive across letters and digits.
Distinctive squared counters appear across key glyphs (notably O/o, D, P, Q, a, e, 8), creating a unified “inset window” motif. Some lowercase forms lean toward simplified, single-storey constructions, reinforcing a functional, modular aesthetic. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with a particularly graphic 0 and stacked-bar style 2 and 3.
