A heavy, block-forward sans built from squared-off curves and rounded rectangles, producing a superelliptical feel throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with clean, crisp terminals, and corners are broadly radiused rather than fully circular. Counters tend to be squarish and compact (notably in letters like B, D, O, P, and 0), while diagonals are straight and assertive in forms such as A, K, V, W, X, and Y. The overall rhythm is tight and sturdy, with generous cap presence and simplified, geometric details that stay visually consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
This design is well suited to bold headlines, poster typography, and logo wordmarks where a compact, geometric voice is needed. It also works effectively for packaging and labels, sports or tech branding, and short UI or display strings where strong shapes and high contrast against the background help maintain legibility.
The font conveys a confident, engineered tone—mechanical and modern, with a hint of arcade and athletic branding. Its chunky geometry reads as tough and pragmatic, favoring impact and clarity over delicacy or warmth.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a consistent rounded-rectangle construction, creating a modern, utilitarian display sans that stays coherent from single glyphs to dense lines of text.
Round letters avoid true circles in favor of squircle-like outlines, creating a distinctive, slightly futuristic texture in text. Numerals follow the same squared-counter logic, giving figures a cohesive, signage-friendly appearance.
