A heavy, geometric sans with squarish superellipse construction and generously rounded corners. Strokes are monolinear with blunt terminals, and counters are mostly rectangular or rounded-rectangular, giving the forms a machined, modular feel. Curved letters like C, G, O, and S are built from softened corners rather than true circles, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and wide, reinforcing a sturdy rhythm. The overall texture is dense and even, with tight-looking apertures and compact interior spaces that emphasize solidity in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short-form copy where its dense, high-impact shapes can read cleanly at larger sizes. It also fits logotypes and brand marks that want a sturdy, contemporary feel, plus posters, packaging, and signage where a compact, engineered look is desirable.
The font conveys a modern, engineered attitude—assertive and utilitarian with a sporty, tech-forward edge. Its softened corners keep it approachable, but the block-like geometry reads as purposeful and strong, suggesting signage, equipment labeling, and performance branding.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a bold, highly consistent display alphabet. By prioritizing uniform stroke weight, squared counters, and softened corners, it aims for strong presence and quick recognizability in branding and graphic applications.
Many shapes show consistent corner radii and rectangular counters, which creates strong visual cohesion across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Numerals follow the same squared, rounded-rectangle logic; the 0 features a diagonal slash, and the 1 is a simple vertical form, both reinforcing an industrial, technical tone.
