A heavy, extended sans with rounded-rectangle geometry throughout. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving counters and bowls a superelliptical, squared feel. Strokes are monolinear and robust, with broad horizontals and clean, open apertures; terminals are mostly flat and blunt. The lowercase shows simplified, constructed forms (single-storey a and g), and the numerals follow the same squared, softened styling with generous interior space.
Best suited to headlines, identity work, packaging, and poster typography where a compact, futuristic texture is desired. It also fits UI banners, esports/sports branding, and product marks that benefit from a sturdy, geometric voice.
The overall tone is modern and machine-made, with a sporty, display-forward presence. Its rounded-square construction reads as tech-oriented and industrial, projecting a confident, contemporary voice rather than warmth or tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, techno-industrial look using softened square forms and consistent, monolinear strokes. It prioritizes bold presence and a cohesive rounded-rect motif for distinctive branding and attention-grabbing display text.
The wide set and large internal counters help maintain clarity at display sizes, while the very blunt joins and squared curves create a distinctive, engineered texture. The ampersand and uppercase Q emphasize the family’s rounded-rect motif, reinforcing a consistent, modular silhouette.
