A heavy, geometric sans built from squared, superellipse-like bowls and rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and most terminals are cut flat, producing a sturdy, engineered silhouette. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving letters like O, C, G, and Q a squarish, machined feel. The x-height reads moderate, with compact apertures and counters that stay open enough for display use; diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y are crisp and angular, while S and 2 emphasize broad, squared arcs. Figures and capitals share a strong, uniform color, with slightly condensed inner space that keeps the texture dense and punchy.
Best suited to headlines, large UI labels, posters, and brand marks where a strong, geometric presence is desired. It can work well for tech and product branding, sports and esports identities, packaging, and wayfinding-style graphics where dense, high-impact letterforms help content hold its ground. For longer text, it will be most effective in short bursts such as section titles, callouts, or badges.
The overall tone is modern and technical, with a confident, no-nonsense voice. Its rounded-square geometry suggests hardware, interfaces, and engineered products, while the weight and compact rhythm add an athletic, performance-driven edge. It feels more contemporary than retro, projecting strength and clarity rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, engineered look using rounded-square construction for both bowls and counters. Its goal is impact and consistency: a dense, uniform texture that reads quickly at display sizes while signaling a technical, performance-oriented character.
Distinctive rounded-rectangle counters and squared curves create a consistent motif across letters and numerals, helping the font maintain a unified texture in all-caps settings. The lowercase mixes single-storey forms (notably a and g) with sturdy verticals, reinforcing a utilitarian, signage-like personality. Numerals are similarly blocky and stable, designed to read as a cohesive set in bold display lines.
