A heavy, rounded sans with a superelliptical construction: strokes end in soft, squared-off corners and curves tend to resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes rather than circles. The letterforms are broad and stable, with a strong horizontal footprint and a consistently chunky stroke that keeps interior counters relatively tight. Openings and joins are simplified and clean, giving the design a modular, engineered feel; diagonals (as in V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and slightly softened at terminals. Lowercase forms are compact and efficient, with short ascenders/descenders and a large x-height that helps maintain color and density in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its dense, wide shapes can deliver strong presence—headlines, poster titles, packaging, and branding marks. It can also work for UI labels and interfaces when used at sizes large enough to keep the tight counters and enclosed shapes clearly separated.
The overall tone is modern and gadget-like—confident, friendly, and slightly retro-futuristic. Its softened corners keep it approachable, while the wide stance and solid weight project impact and durability, making it feel at home in tech, sports, and entertainment contexts.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, rounded-rectangle letterforms into a high-impact display voice—maximizing visual solidity and consistency while keeping edges soft and approachable for contemporary branding and digital environments.
Round forms like O and Q read as rounded rectangles, and several glyphs emphasize horizontal strokes and flattened curves, reinforcing a sleek, screen-ready silhouette. Numerals follow the same blocky, rounded logic, staying consistent with the alphabet’s compact counters and smooth terminals.
