A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with soft corners, wide proportions, and strongly simplified geometry. Curves are built from superelliptical shapes, giving bowls and counters a squarish roundness, while terminals often finish in flat horizontal cuts that create a stepped, engineered feel. The letters maintain a tight, sturdy rhythm with compact interior spaces and minimal stroke modulation, producing a dense, high-impact texture in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded construction and appear designed to read as solid blocks at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where maximum presence is needed and letterforms can breathe at larger sizes. It works well for logotypes, product packaging, and sports or event graphics that benefit from a compact, muscular texture and rounded, contemporary shapes.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, combining a 1970s/1980s display sensibility with a contemporary, tech-forward sturdiness. Its softened corners keep the voice friendly, but the blocky massing and horizontal slicing add a sporty, industrial edge.
The design appears intended as a modern display sans that borrows from rounded, modular signage forms, prioritizing bold silhouette, visual punch, and a cohesive superelliptical language across letters and figures.
In the sample text, the font forms a very dark typographic color with short-looking apertures and counters, emphasizing silhouette over internal detail. The design favors large-scale readability and graphic presence, with especially strong impact in headlines and short lines.
