A heavy, geometric sans built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) counters. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, compact color and strong figure–ground. Corners are consistently softened rather than sharp, and many bowls and apertures lean toward rectangular geometry, giving letters a machined, modular feel. Proportions are steady and upright, with short joins and wide, stable horizontals that keep forms readable at large sizes.
This font is well suited to headlines, branding marks, apparel graphics, and poster work where impact and clarity are primary. It also works effectively for short UI labels or signage-style applications at larger sizes, especially in contexts that benefit from an industrial or sporty feel.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a contemporary, tech-forward edge. Its squared-round forms suggest engineered durability rather than softness, conveying a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to bold messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through bold, uniform strokes and superelliptical geometry, balancing friendliness from rounded corners with the authority of squared forms. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent construction for modern display typography.
The numerals follow the same rounded-rectangular construction, with a particularly sturdy, sign-like presence. In text, the heavy weight compresses interior space, so the type reads best where strong silhouette and punch are more important than fine detail.
