This typeface is built from squared, superelliptical shapes with generously rounded corners and a consistently heavy, even stroke. Curves resolve into softened rectangles, giving bowls and counters a compact, engineered feel (notably in O/0 and B/P). Terminals are mostly blunt and horizontal/vertical, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y are clean and mechanical rather than calligraphic. The lowercase follows the same modular logic, with single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a blocky s; overall spacing and rhythm read sturdy and tightly controlled at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a bold, modern voice is needed. It can also work well for sports and gaming aesthetics, UI titles, packaging callouts, and signage that benefits from blocky, rounded-rect geometry.
The tone is modern and equipment-like, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its rounded-rectangle geometry suggests tech interfaces and industrial design, balancing friendliness from the soft corners with a strong, commanding weight.
The design appears intended to translate a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle motif into a readable alphabet with strong impact. It emphasizes consistency, sturdy silhouettes, and an engineered rhythm for contemporary display typography.
Distinctive squared forms in O/Q/0 and the rectangular apertures in letters like C, G, and S reinforce a cohesive, systemized construction. The numerals and caps feel particularly suited to bold statements, where the broad shapes and tight internal spaces create a compact, impactful silhouette.
