A heavy, squarish sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform in weight with minimal modulation, creating dense, high-contrast silhouettes against the page. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls (notably in O, D, and 0), while many joins and terminals are cut cleanly and decisively, producing a crisp, engineered feel. Counters tend to be compact and rectangular, and spacing reads steady and deliberate, with punctuation and numerals matching the same sturdy, rounded geometry.
Best suited for short-form, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, product branding, and wordmarks where its compact counters and blocky forms can read as intentional style. It also works well for labels, UI title treatments, and sporty or tech-forward packaging where a strong, engineered rhythm is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and contemporary, leaning toward a technical, industrial voice rather than friendly or delicate. Its squared curves and compact apertures give it a confident, utilitarian presence that suggests machinery, gaming, or high-performance branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a cohesive rounded-rectangle geometry, balancing hard-edged structure with softened corners for a modern, industrial look. It prioritizes bold presence and stylistic consistency over delicate detail, making it ideal for display-led applications.
Distinctive details include rectangular interior shapes in round letters, a single-storey lowercase a, and simplified, blocky numerals that keep the same rounded-corner logic. The uppercase and lowercase share a consistent geometric system, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive even at large sizes.
