A heavy, geometric sans with strokes that keep a consistent thickness and terminals that resolve into rounded, squared-off corners. Curves are built from superellipse-like forms, giving counters and bowls a rounded-rectangle feel rather than true circles. Apertures are relatively tight, with crisp joins and a generally horizontal/vertical construction; diagonals (as in K, V, W, X, Y) feel straight and sharply cut. The lowercase is compact with a prominent x-height and short extenders, and the overall spacing reads firm and blocky, emphasizing stability and punch at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and logo work where its chunky geometry and rounded-square character can read clearly. It also works well for posters, packaging, and tech-themed graphics that benefit from a bold, constructed presence.
The letterforms project a modern, engineered tone—clean, assertive, and slightly sci‑fi. The rounded-square geometry softens the impact just enough to feel approachable, while the dense structure and tight openings keep it feeling technical and performance-driven.
The design appears intended to blend geometric clarity with a distinctive rounded-square signature, prioritizing impact and recognizability over airy openness. Its consistent stroke behavior and superelliptic curves suggest a focus on a contemporary, system-like aesthetic for display-forward typography.
Numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle logic, with squared curves and flattened transitions that keep the set visually consistent. The design maintains a strong rhythm across uppercase and lowercase, making it especially striking in all-caps headlines and short UI-style labels where its distinctive geometry is most apparent.
