A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with wide curves that resolve into squared bowls and apertures, giving letters a superelliptic, “machined” feel. Counters are relatively small and often rectangular, and terminals are clean and blunt with minimal modulation. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with simple joins and a single-story “a”; the overall texture is dense and high-impact, emphasizing silhouette clarity over fine detail.
Best suited for display roles where impact and quick recognition matter, such as headlines, posters, logos, product packaging, and bold wayfinding or signage. It can work for short UI labels or badges when set generously, but the tight counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The tone is bold and assertive, with a contemporary, tech-leaning character that also nods to retro display lettering. Its rounded-square geometry reads energetic and utilitarian, suggesting hardware, instrumentation, and sport branding rather than editorial subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern display voice built from rounded-square geometry, balancing friendliness (soft corners) with a rugged, engineered presence. It prioritizes consistent silhouettes and brandable shapes for attention-grabbing typography.
Many forms show deliberate squaring in curves (notably in bowls and rounded corners), creating a consistent grid-like rhythm. Numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle logic, with sturdy shapes and enclosed counters that stay legible at larger sizes.
