A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse shapes, with softened corners and smooth, even stroke thickness throughout. Counters and apertures are tight and often rendered as rectangular cut-ins, giving letters a carved, stencil-like feel while keeping edges clean and consistent. Proportions skew broad and stable, with short extenders and a large x-height that makes lowercase forms feel nearly as prominent as capitals. Overall rhythm is uniform and modular, with occasional asymmetrical notches and terminals that add distinct character without breaking the system.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, wordmarks, app titles, posters, and packaging where its bold silhouette and rounded-rect geometry can be read quickly. It also fits UI and product labeling when used at generous sizes, where the distinctive cut-in counters remain clear.
The tone is modern and synthetic, evoking interface typography, sci‑fi hardware, and contemporary tech branding. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly and approachable, while the dense black presence reads confident and energetic. The stylized joins and cutouts add a playful, game-like edge that feels designed rather than neutral.
The letterforms appear intentionally constructed from a consistent superelliptical module to produce a cohesive, brandable system. The design emphasizes silhouette, uniform texture, and a distinctive counter treatment to stand out in contemporary, tech-forward display applications.
The design relies on small internal gaps and ink traps-like cutaways that become a defining feature at display sizes. In longer text, the compact counters and strong color create a continuous texture, so spacing and size choice will strongly influence clarity.
