A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms with consistently softened corners and broad, even strokes. Counters are compact and often square-ish, giving letters like O, Q, and 0 a boxed, inset look. Terminals are mostly straight and blunt, with occasional angled cuts (notably in diagonals like A, K, V, W, X, Y, Z), producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. The lowercase maintains a tall x-height with simplified, sturdy shapes, and the overall spacing reads solid and headline-oriented rather than airy.
This font performs best at display sizes where its compact counters and strong geometry stay clear—headlines, posters, logos, and bold brand systems. Its robust, rounded-rect shapes also fit product packaging, athletic branding, and tech or hardware-oriented graphics where a tough but friendly sans is desired.
The tone is bold and assertive with a contemporary, tech-forward flavor. Rounded corners keep it friendly and accessible, while the squared geometry and dense counters add an industrial, utilitarian edge. The result feels energetic and modern—well suited to loud, confident messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through chunky geometry and rounded-rectangle construction, pairing an engineered, modular look with softened corners for approachability. Distinctive cut-ins and simplified forms suggest a focus on recognizable silhouettes in branding and large-scale typography.
Round characters lean toward squared ovals, and many bowls/counters read as inset “windows,” reinforcing a modular, UI-like aesthetic. The numerals share the same rounded-rect construction, with forms like 2, 3, 5, and 9 featuring distinctive horizontal cut-ins that add character and enhance the mechanical feel.
