A heavy, geometric sans with a superellipse construction: counters and outer curves resolve into rounded rectangles rather than circles. Strokes are monolinear and blunt-ended, with broad horizontal spans and generously radiused corners that keep the silhouettes soft despite the mass. Apertures tend to be tight and the internal spaces are compact, producing dense, high-impact word shapes. The rhythm is steady and engineered, with squared bowls, flat terminals, and a generally modular feel across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where the chunky superellipse shapes can be appreciated—headlines, posters, packaging, sports and tech branding, and game/entertainment titles. It can also work for short UI labels or interface-style graphics when a bold, futuristic tone is desired, but extended body text may feel dense due to the tight apertures.
The overall tone is modern and synthetic, evoking sci‑fi interfaces, arcade hardware, and performance branding. Its rounded-rect geometry reads confident and functional, with a friendly softness layered onto an otherwise industrial, machine-made voice.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rectangle, techno-industrial motif into a readable sans: maximizing impact, maintaining consistent geometry across glyphs, and delivering a distinctive, contemporary voice for display typography.
At text sizes the compact counters and thick joins can reduce internal separation, while at display sizes the distinctive squared curves and crisp negative spaces become a defining signature. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same rounded-rect logic, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like appearance.
