A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms and squared curves, with soft corners and broad horizontal proportions. Strokes are consistently thick with clean, mostly orthogonal construction, while curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and apertures. Counters are compact and often rectangular, giving letters a dense, punched-in look; joins and terminals stay blunt and stable rather than tapering. Spacing reads generous enough for display use, and the overall rhythm is chunky and highly uniform, with only mild width variation across characters.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where strong shapes and tight counters can carry impact. It fits branding for games, tech products, sports and fitness, packaging, and signage where a sturdy, geometric voice is desired. For longer passages, larger sizes and comfortable tracking will help maintain clarity.
The tone is assertive and engineered, evoking arcade interfaces, sci‑fi hardware labeling, and performance branding. Its blocky geometry and rounded corners balance toughness with approachability, producing a playful-yet-industrial feel that reads loud and confident.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a highly legible, high-impact display sans. It prioritizes bold silhouettes, consistent modular curves, and a cohesive, system-like feel that remains recognizable across letters and numerals.
Distinctive features include squared bowls (notably in O/Q and lower-case forms) and short, sturdy horizontal arms that keep silhouettes compact. The numerals match the same rounded-rectangular logic, reinforcing a cohesive, modular system suited to large sizes.
