A heavy, geometric sans with squarish, superellipse-based outlines and generously rounded corners. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with broad, flat terminals and a distinctly horizontal feel created by wide proportions and compact internal counters. Curves are engineered rather than calligraphic, and joins stay clean and blocklike, producing sturdy silhouettes that read as rounded rectangles across bowls and shoulders. Spacing appears firm and slightly tight in the sample text, reinforcing a solid, billboard-ready texture.
Best suited for large-size applications where its wide, dense forms can project impact: branding, logotypes, posters, event graphics, product packaging, and bold UI titling in tech or gaming contexts. In longer text, it works most comfortably as short bursts—titles, pull quotes, and signage—where its compact counters remain clear.
The tone is modern and assertive, with a tech-forward, engineered personality. Its rounded-rectangle geometry suggests contemporary interfaces and industrial design, while the mass and width lend a sporty, high-impact energy suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The design intent appears to be a modern display face built from rounded-rectangular geometry, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a contemporary, engineered rhythm. It aims to balance friendliness from softened corners with authority from heavy, wide proportions, creating a distinctive, high-visibility voice.
Distinctive details include squarish bowls (notably in O/0 and D), a compact, squared-off S, and a Q with an angular tail that adds a sharp accent within the otherwise softened system. Numerals follow the same modular logic, with the 0 closely echoing the uppercase O for a cohesive, system-like feel.
