A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) contours with tight, consistent curvature and minimal stroke modulation. Corners are broadly radiused, terminals are clean and blunt, and counters tend toward squarish openings, producing a compact, sturdy silhouette. Uppercase forms are wide-set and monolithic, while lowercase maintains clear, simplified constructions with single-story a and g; joins and diagonals are straight-edged and sharply resolved. Numerals follow the same squared, softened architecture, with an especially boxy 0 and overall uniform, signage-like rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing display settings where its dense weight and squared-rounded forms can establish a strong visual voice. It also works well for branding, product packaging, and UI/label elements that benefit from a robust, technical look and clear, simplified letterforms.
The overall tone is assertive and engineered, blending a contemporary tech feel with a sporty, industrial toughness. Rounded corners keep it approachable, while the dense black color and squared geometry project confidence and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive superellipse construction system—square-leaning geometry softened by generous corner radii. It prioritizes bold presence, consistency across letters and numerals, and a modern, utilitarian aesthetic for display-oriented typography.
At larger sizes the distinctive squarish counters and rounded-corner rectangles read as a defining motif, giving the typeface a strong logo-friendly signature. In longer text blocks the bold color and compact apertures create a tight texture, favoring short bursts of copy over extended reading.
