A heavy, squared sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with broad proportions and crisp, orthogonal construction. Corners are consistently softened, counters tend toward rounded squares, and curves transition quickly into straight segments. Strokes are uniform with minimal modulation, terminals are flat, and spacing feels steady and open despite the weight. The lowercase keeps a tall x-height and simplified shapes, while figures and caps share the same squarish geometry for a highly consistent texture.
Best suited to display settings where impact and clarity matter: headlines, posters, branding marks, product packaging, and signage/wayfinding. It also fits UI-style titling or on-screen graphics where a technical, squared look is desired, while longer paragraphs may feel dense due to the weight and compact inner spaces.
The overall tone is modern and engineered, evoking digital interfaces, machinery labeling, and sporty display typography. Its softened corners keep it approachable, but the blocky structure reads assertive and technical rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, contemporary sans with a squarish, rounded-rectangle skeleton—combining the firmness of engineered geometry with slightly softened corners for improved legibility and a less harsh presence.
Distinctive superelliptical counters give letters like O, D, and G a squircle-like character, and the angular joins in diagonals (e.g., A, K, V, W, X) reinforce a constructed, modular feel. The design prioritizes strong silhouette and uniform rhythm over delicate detail, making it visually stable at larger sizes.
