A heavy, geometric sans built from squarish superellipse forms and rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes are consistently thick with softened corners, producing sturdy, compact silhouettes and tight interior spaces. The lowercase features a tall x-height and short extenders, with single-storey forms (notably a and g) that keep the texture dense and uniform. Curves tend to resolve into flattened horizontals and verticals rather than true ovals, and many glyphs use squared apertures and rectangular bowls for a distinctly modular rhythm. Numerals share the same wide, blocky construction, with simple, angular diagonals and squared inner counters.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, titles, and bold brand marks where its rounded-square geometry can read clearly. It can also work for short UI labels or interface-style graphics when a sturdy, techno-industrial voice is desired, but extended small-size text may require generous sizing and spacing due to the compact counters.
The overall tone is assertive and engineered, with a synthetic, machine-made feel. Its rounded-square geometry reads as contemporary and tech-forward, while the extreme weight and compact counters add a tough, high-impact attitude reminiscent of sports branding and arcade or sci‑fi interfaces.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through dense, rounded-rectangular forms and a disciplined geometric system. By prioritizing superellipse bowls, compact apertures, and a tall lowercase structure, it aims to create a cohesive, modern display voice that feels robust, digital, and brandable.
Counters are notably small and often rectangular, so the font’s strongest showing is at larger sizes where its superellipse construction remains clear. The texture in lines of text is dense and dark, emphasizing silhouette and spacing over fine detail, and the letterforms maintain a consistent rounded-corner vocabulary across cases and figures.
