A heavy, geometric sans built from squared-round (superellipse) shapes, with broad proportions and a low, steady stroke modulation. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and digits a rounded-rectangle footprint. Terminals are mostly flat and clean, apertures are relatively tight, and counters stay compact—especially in letters like a, e, s, and the numerals—producing a dense, high-impact texture. Diagonals (V, W, X, Z) are sturdy and simplified, while joins and shoulders are kept smooth and mechanical for consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display copy where its dense, squared-round forms can read as a deliberate stylistic choice. It works well for logos and wordmarks, sports and esports identities, tech or gaming interfaces, and packaging or signage that needs a strong, modern stamp.
The overall tone is modern and forceful, with a distinctly engineered, sci‑fi/sports flavor. Its softened-square geometry reads as contemporary and tech-forward, while the dense counters and wide stance make it feel confident and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive superelliptical construction—prioritizing a futuristic, industrial voice and consistent, block-like silhouettes that remain recognizable at large sizes and in branding contexts.
Uppercase forms are especially uniform and monolithic, and the lowercase follows with similarly constructed, single-storey shapes where applicable. The numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle logic (notably 0, 6, 8, 9), reinforcing a cohesive, display-oriented system. In paragraph-like samples, the weight and tight internal spaces create a bold, blocky color that benefits from generous tracking and line spacing.
