A heavy, geometric sans built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and many terminals end bluntly, giving the letters a machined, constructed feel. Counters tend to be squarish and compact, with tight apertures in letters like C, S, and e; round characters such as O and 0 read as rounded rectangles. The design keeps a steady rhythm and strong horizontal presence, while diagonal joins (e.g., in K, V, W, X) are crisp and angular against the otherwise softened corners.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, branding, and packaging where its chunky geometry and squared curves can carry personality. It can also work for signage and UI-style titling, especially when a technical, contemporary voice is desired.
The overall tone feels modern and technical—confident, assertive, and purpose-built. Its squared curves and dense weight evoke hardware, interfaces, and engineered products rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to translate superelliptical, rounded-rectangle geometry into a sturdy display sans, balancing softened corners with firm, engineered structure. It prioritizes impact and a consistent, system-like look over delicate detail.
Distinctive details include a single-storey a and g, a small, squared shoulder on r, and numerals that echo the same rounded-rect geometry (notably 0, 8, and 9). The strong weight and tight internal spaces favor larger sizes where counters can breathe, and the wide stance helps maintain clarity in short words and headings.
