A heavy, geometric sans built from squarish, superellipse-like bowls and rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes are consistently thick with mostly uniform weight, and corners are softened rather than fully circular, producing a crisp but friendly edge. Proportions feel horizontally generous with ample interior space, while the lowercase shows a tall x-height that keeps shapes large and open. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, and many curves resolve into flattened arcs, giving the alphabet a blocky, engineered rhythm.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, logos, posters, packaging, and wayfinding where the chunky geometry can be appreciated. It can also work for UI labels or product/tech contexts when set with generous spacing, but is less ideal for long-form reading due to its dense color.
The overall tone is modern and technical, with a subtle sci‑fi/industrial flavor created by the squared-round geometry and firm, confident silhouettes. It reads as assertive and functional—more like product labeling, hardware, or performance branding than editorial text.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a strong contemporary voice through squared-round geometry and sturdy, uniform strokes, aiming for immediate legibility and a distinctive tech-industrial identity in display sizes.
The design maintains strong consistency across letters and numerals, with rounded rectangular forms recurring in bowls and counters. At smaller sizes the heavy weight and compact joins can make dense paragraphs feel dark, while larger sizes emphasize the distinctive squircle-like character.
