A heavy, geometric sans built from squarish, rounded-rectangle forms with consistent corner radii and blunt terminals. Curves are simplified into superellipse-like bowls, giving letters such as O, C, D, and G a boxy, softened silhouette. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and joins stay clean and sturdy, producing a dense, high-impact texture. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and minimal modulation, while figures are similarly squared and robust, with an especially angular 1.
Best suited for display work where its dense geometry and rounded-square construction can read clearly: headlines, posters, title cards, and brand marks. It also fits product packaging and tech or sports identity systems that benefit from a strong, constructed voice.
The overall tone is assertive and engineered, with a contemporary, tech-forward character. Its softened corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, while the squared geometry reads as functional and industrial. The result feels confident and sporty, suited to bold statements and modern systems.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a consistent rounded-square geometry, balancing industrial sturdiness with softened edges. It prioritizes a modular, engineered look that maintains uniformity across caps, lowercase, and numerals for coherent branding and display typography.
Letterforms rely on consistent geometry and tight apertures, so at smaller sizes the interior spaces may visually fill in compared to more open grotesques. The squared construction creates a distinctive rhythm in all-caps settings, and the numerals match the same sturdy, modular feel for cohesive typographic systems.
