This typeface is a heavy, geometric sans built from squarish, rounded-rectangle forms with softened corners and broad, even strokes. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls (notably in O, o, and 0), and counters are compact and rectangular, giving the letters a sturdy, machined feel. Terminals are mostly blunt with occasional angled cuts in diagonals (K, M, N, V, W, X, Y, Z), creating a crisp rhythm despite the rounded construction. The lowercase is tall and sturdy, with single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a compact, closed e whose horizontal aperture reads as a narrow slot.
It performs best at display sizes where its compact counters and rounded-square detailing stay clear—ideal for headlines, poster typography, sports and esports graphics, tech branding, packaging, and bold UI banners. For long passages at small sizes, the tight apertures and dense interior space may benefit from generous tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is bold and contemporary, with a distinctly futuristic, engineered voice. Its rounded-square geometry feels friendly enough for consumer tech, while the dense counters and blocky silhouettes project strength and confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive rounded-rect geometry—combining soft corners with hard, engineered structure for modern, attention-grabbing display typography.
Spacing appears tight-to-moderate in the sample text, reinforcing a compact, headline-driven texture. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, and the 1 is a simple vertical with minimal shaping, while 2 and 3 use flattened, segmented curves that match the font’s industrial cadence.
