A heavy, geometric sans built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle anatomy. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, solid color in text. Curves resolve into superellipse-like corners rather than true circles, and many counters read as rounded squares, giving the design a machined precision. Terminals are typically flat and crisp; joins are sturdy, and the overall proportion feels expansive with broad uppercase forms and robust lowercase structures.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and branding where a strong, modern voice is needed. It also works well for product names, tech packaging, posters, and short UI labels where bold, squared-round forms improve recognition at a glance.
The tone is modern and technical, with a futuristic, engineered flavor that feels at home in digital and industrial contexts. Its squared-round geometry communicates strength and clarity, leaning more toward utilitarian tech than friendly softness.
The design appears intended to translate the feel of rounded-rectangle industrial design into type: sturdy, contemporary letterforms optimized for visual impact and a coherent, tech-forward identity.
The punctuation and numerals match the same squared-round logic, reinforcing a consistent, modular system. In longer settings the weight and compact apertures create strong presence, favoring impact over delicacy.
