A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) shapes with broad proportions and blunt terminals. Corners are consistently softened, giving square forms (like C, D, O, and U) a squircle-like silhouette, while straight strokes stay firm and monoline in feel. Counters are compact and often rectangular/rounded-rectangular, creating a tight, dense interior rhythm; horizontal apertures and notches appear in several glyphs, reinforcing a mechanical, modular construction. Lowercase forms maintain a tall, sturdy stance with simple, single-storey constructions and minimal stroke modulation, optimized for impact at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where maximum presence is needed: headlines, posters, event graphics, and logotypes. The squared-round geometry also fits well in sports and esports branding, gaming/tech UI titles, packaging callouts, and signage where quick, high-impact recognition matters.
The tone is bold and engineered—evoking sci‑fi interfaces, athletic branding, and industrial labeling. Its rounded corners temper the aggression of the blocky geometry, producing a controlled, modern energy that reads as technical and purposeful rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a futuristic, industrial voice through superellipse construction—combining wide, block-like silhouettes with softened corners for a modern, manufactured feel. It prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and a consistent modular system across letters and numerals.
The overall texture is dark and compact, with tight counters and squared inner shapes that emphasize solidity. Numerals follow the same squircle logic and appear designed for visual consistency in headings and large numerals rather than delicate text settings.
