A heavy, geometric sans built from squarish forms with generously rounded corners and predominantly straight-sided curves. Counters are rectangular to superelliptical, with tight apertures and compact internal space that emphasize a solid, blocky silhouette. Terminals are mostly blunt, and stroke joins stay crisp, producing a rigid rhythm with a softened edge. Uppercase proportions feel wide and stable, while lowercase retains the same squared construction, keeping a consistent, modular texture in text.
Best suited to large-scale display use where its dense shapes and squared counters can project strength—posters, headlines, brand marks, and packaging. It can also work for UI titles, signage, and labels that benefit from a robust, technical look, especially where short strings need immediate presence.
The overall tone is bold and disciplined, with a modern industrial edge. Its rounded-rectangle geometry evokes contemporary tech and equipment labeling, while the dense, compact shapes also nod to retro arcade and sports-number aesthetics. It reads confident and utilitarian rather than delicate or lyrical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through compact, rounded-rectangular construction and a consistent geometric system. It aims for an engineered, contemporary voice that remains approachable due to softened corners, balancing strict structure with a friendly finish.
Distinctive squared bowls (notably in B, D, O, P, R) and a boxy, engineered feel are reinforced by minimal curvature beyond corner rounding. Numerals are similarly chunky and scoreboard-like, with clear, simplified construction that prioritizes impact over fine detail.
