A heavy, squarish sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and broadly uniform stroke weight. Curves are flattened into soft corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a boxy, machined feel. Terminals are predominantly blunt, with minimal modulation and a stable, upright stance. Counters tend to be compact and apertures are relatively tight, producing dense, high-impact word shapes; the lowercase follows the same geometric logic with sturdy, block-like forms.
Best suited to large-size applications where mass and shape can do the work: headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also fits UI or product titling that wants a sturdy, tech-forward feel, especially where short strings and strong typographic presence are needed.
The overall tone is assertive and functional, reading as contemporary and engineered with a hint of retro display energy. Its broad, cushioned geometry suggests athletic and tech contexts, projecting strength and straightforwardness rather than delicacy or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, rounded-square silhouette that stays cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. It prioritizes bold recognition and a consistent constructed rhythm, aiming for a modern, industrial display voice.
Round letters like O and Q read as rounded squares, and diagonals (e.g., in V/W/X/Y) feel cut from solid slabs, reinforcing a constructed, industrial rhythm. The numerals match the same blocky, softened-corner language, maintaining consistent visual color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
