A compact, heavy sans with a squared, superelliptical construction: strokes stay uniformly thick while corners and joins soften into rounded rectangles. Curves resolve into flat-ish terminals and boxy bowls, giving letters and numerals a carved, stencil-like solidity without actual breaks. Counters tend toward squared ovals, and the overall rhythm is dense, with short apertures and sturdy internal spaces that hold up well at display sizes. The lowercase follows the same modular logic, keeping forms simple and upright with minimal modulation and a consistently squared silhouette.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short impactful lines where its dense, blocky shapes can read with authority. It also fits logos, sports or event branding, packaging, and tech or industrial-themed interfaces where a rugged, geometric voice is desirable.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, with a confident, engineered feel that reads as sporty and techno-leaning. Its rounded-square geometry adds a retro arcade/industrial flavor while remaining clean and contemporary, making text feel punchy and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a consistent rounded-rectangle system, trading delicate detail for strong, modular silhouettes. It aims for a distinctive, display-forward presence that stays cohesive across letters and numerals while maintaining a clean sans structure.
The design relies on a consistent rounding radius across corners, which creates strong visual cohesion from caps to lowercase to figures. Because internal spaces are relatively small and apertures are tight, the face looks most comfortable when given breathing room (larger sizes or looser tracking) in longer lines.
