A heavy, squarish sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) curves and broad, uniform strokes. The forms are built from straight sides and softened corners, giving counters and bowls a rectangular feel rather than circular. Terminals are blunt and flat, joins are sturdy, and the overall geometry reads as tightly engineered. The lowercase keeps simple constructions with single-story shapes where applicable, while figures and capitals maintain consistent weight and a solid, blocky silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence is needed, such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks. The sturdy, squared-rounded shapes also fit wayfinding and signage, and can complement sporty or tech-oriented visual systems. It will be most effective at moderate to large sizes where its compact counters remain clear.
The font projects strength and utility, with a confident, no-nonsense tone. Its rounded-square geometry adds a subtle retro-tech flavor, balancing friendliness with an industrial, athletic punch. Overall it feels built for impact and clarity rather than delicacy.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a consistent, geometric construction. By using rounded-rectangle curves and blunt terminals, it aims to feel modern and engineered while retaining a slightly retro, industrial character for distinctive branding and display typography.
Large enclosed areas and compact apertures emphasize bold silhouettes, especially in letters like O, D, P, and R. The rhythm is dense and uniform, and the squared curves create a distinctive texture in headlines and short lines. Numerals follow the same squared, rounded-corner logic for a cohesive alphanumeric set.
