A geometric sans with a squared, superelliptical construction and heavily rounded corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and many curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms, giving letters like O, C, D, and G a boxy, softened silhouette. Apertures and counters tend toward rectangular or pill-shaped openings, and terminals are clean and blunt. Proportions feel broad and steady, with compact internal space in letters such as a, e, and s, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its dense, geometric texture and softened-square forms can be appreciated—headlines, logos, packaging, posters, and bold interface labels. It can also work for signage or short callouts where quick recognition and a contemporary voice are desired.
The overall tone is modern and engineered, with a streamlined, tech-forward feel. Its softened-square geometry reads confident and functional, leaning toward sci‑fi, automotive, and sports aesthetics rather than friendly or classic editorial moods.
The design appears intended to merge rounded-rectangle geometry with strong, uniform strokes to create a robust, contemporary sans for high-impact communication. It prioritizes a cohesive superelliptical silhouette and a solid typographic color that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The numerals and uppercase show particularly strong rounded-rectangle logic, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) keep sharp joins for crispness. The lowercase maintains the same squared curvature, creating a consistent rhythm, though the tight counters can make long text blocks feel heavy at smaller sizes.
