A heavy, geometric sans with squared, superellipse-like bowls and generously rounded corners. Strokes are monolinear with minimal modulation, producing solid, even color in text. Counters tend to be rectangular and compact, apertures are fairly closed, and joins are crisp with a slightly engineered feel. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, while the lowercase follows a single-storey, utilitarian construction (notably the a and g) with a tall x-height and sturdy verticals; the overall rhythm reads dense and controlled rather than airy.
Best suited to headlines, branding, packaging, and UI/wayfinding moments where a strong, engineered voice is desired. It works particularly well for tech, tools, sports, automotive, and industrial-themed communications, and can serve as a bold navigational or labeling face when given adequate size and spacing.
The font conveys a contemporary, industrial tone—confident, technical, and somewhat militaristic in its blocky geometry. Its rounded-square construction softens the severity just enough to feel modern and product-forward rather than purely harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through squared, rounded geometry and dense typographic color, pairing a technical silhouette with friendly corner rounding for modern display use.
The numerals and round letters lean toward rounded-rectangle silhouettes, reinforcing the superellipse theme. The squarish bowls (such as in O and 0) and compact internal spaces create strong presence at display sizes, while the tight apertures can make long text feel heavy if set too small or too tightly tracked.
