A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and squarish counters. Strokes are uniform and dense, with broad, flat terminals and smoothly softened outer corners that keep the forms from feeling sharp. Curves resolve into boxy bowls (notably in O, C, D, and G), while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and slightly compressed, reinforcing a compact, engineered rhythm. Lowercase follows the same squared-round logic with a single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and tight apertures that read as small rectangular openings at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, titles, brand marks, and large-format typography where its compact counters and blocky geometry can read cleanly. It also fits contemporary packaging, tech-forward interfaces, and sports or esports graphics where a sturdy, engineered voice is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and functional, suggesting machinery, digital hardware, and contemporary sports branding. Its squared-round geometry feels modern and technical, while the softened corners add a friendly, game-like character rather than an aggressive edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a modular rounded-rectangle construction, balancing strict geometry with softened corners for approachability. It aims for a contemporary, system-like look that remains legible and distinctive in bold display applications.
Counters tend to be small and rectangular, giving the face a solid, high-ink presence. The numerals follow the same modular logic, with 0 as a rounded rectangle and 8 built from stacked squarish bowls, contributing to a cohesive, systematized feel across letters and figures.
