A heavy, geometric sans built from squared-off, superellipse-like shapes with generously rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and blocky, with tight apertures and rectangular counters that create a compact, engineered texture. Diagonals are crisp and straight, while curves resolve into flattened bowls and rounded-rectangle forms, giving letters like O, C, G, and Q a distinctly “squared round” silhouette. Spacing reads slightly tight at display sizes, contributing to a dense, punchy rhythm, and the numerals follow the same modular, squared geometry.
Best suited to headlines and short-form messaging where its dense, squared-round shapes can read as intentional and bold. It works well for logos, sports and esports identity, tech product branding, packaging, and high-impact signage. For longer text, it will perform best at larger sizes with comfortable tracking to offset the naturally tight apertures.
The overall tone is modern and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense voice. Its rounded-square construction suggests technology, machinery, and athletic branding—familiar in sci‑fi interfaces and performance-oriented graphics—while staying clean and friendly enough to avoid feeling harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, modular look derived from rounded rectangles, prioritizing solidity and uniformity over calligraphic contrast. It aims for high impact and a controlled, engineered rhythm that stays consistent across letters and numerals.
Distinctive traits include very squared bowls, short terminals, and small openings in letters such as S and e, which emphasize a closed, sturdy feel. The lowercase forms keep the same geometric logic as the caps, reinforcing a consistent, system-like design across the set.
