A heavy, block-forward sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) shapes. Strokes are thick and confident with tight, compact counters and generous corner radii that keep the silhouette friendly despite the weight. Curves tend to square off, terminals are mostly flat, and the overall rhythm feels sturdy and slightly condensed in the bowls, producing a dense, uniform texture in text. Numerals and capitals are especially chunky, with simplified interior spaces and a strong baseline presence.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, brand marks, and packaging where its chunky forms can read clearly. It can also work for UI labels or wayfinding at larger sizes when you want a sturdy, button-like presence, but dense body text may require careful tracking and line spacing.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, leaning toward industrial and retro display styling with a modern, tech-adjacent finish. Its softened corners add approachability, while the dense black shapes project impact and authority—well suited to energetic, sporty, or game-like branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a cohesive rounded-rect geometry—combining a tough, blocky footprint with softened corners for friendly readability. It emphasizes strong silhouettes and consistent modular construction over delicate detail, aiming for unmistakable display presence.
In longer lines, the compact counters and heavy joins create a dark typographic color that benefits from ample size and spacing. The superelliptical construction gives many glyphs a squared, modular feel, helping headings look consistent and tightly engineered.
