A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle curves and squared-off arcs, giving letters a soft-cornered, machined silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and the overall stance is expanded, with broad capitals and generous horizontal proportions. Counters tend to be wide and smooth, while apertures are relatively compact, creating a tight, streamlined rhythm. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the forms favor horizontal emphasis and stable, level alignment across the set.
Best suited to headlines and short to medium display copy where its broad proportions and thick strokes can deliver strong presence. It can work well for brand marks, packaging, and tech or sport-oriented graphics, as well as UI banners or dashboards where a modern, engineered feel is desired.
The tone is contemporary and engineered—clean, assertive, and slightly futuristic. Its rounded-square geometry reads as both friendly and high-tech, making it feel at home in performance-oriented and digital contexts where impact and clarity are prioritized.
The design appears intended to merge geometric clarity with softened corners, producing a robust display sans that feels modern and durable. Its wide, superelliptical construction emphasizes impact and a distinctive silhouette for prominent typographic roles.
Curved letters like C, G, O, and S lean into superelliptical shaping rather than true circles, which reinforces the font’s distinctive “soft-square” identity. Numerals match the same wide, sturdy construction, keeping the texture consistent between text and figures.
