A heavy geometric sans with a squarish, superellipse construction and generously rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and blocky, with compact, rounded-rectangle counters (notably in O, D, P, and 8) and broad, stable horizontals. Terminals are typically flat or softly clipped, giving many letters a machined, modular feel; the lowercase maintains a sturdy, simplified structure with single-storey forms and minimal detailing. Spacing reads even and robust, producing a dense, high-impact texture in both the glyph grid and the paragraph sample.
Best suited to display use such as headlines, posters, signage, and brand marks where its chunky geometry and rounded-square rhythm can be a visual feature. It can also work for UI labels, game/tech identity, and packaging callouts when set at sizes that preserve its tight counters and bold interior shapes.
The overall tone is modern and tech-forward, with an industrial, engineered character that still feels approachable due to the softened corners. It suggests sci‑fi interfaces, arcade-era graphics, and contemporary product branding where a bold, confident voice is needed without sharp aggressiveness.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, contemporary display voice built from rounded-rectangular geometry—prioritizing strong silhouettes, modular consistency, and a friendly-tech aesthetic over traditional humanist detailing.
Round forms lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry rather than pure circles, and several diagonals (V, W, Y, 7) are drawn with thick, confident joins that emphasize solidity over delicacy. The squareness of bowls and the compact interior spaces create a strong silhouette that holds up well in short words and large settings.
