A heavy, squared sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry with superelliptical curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are broadly rounded or chamfer-like, keeping corners soft while preserving a rigid, modular skeleton. Counters tend to be rectangular with rounded corners (notably in O/0 and D), and the overall rhythm feels compact and engineered, with sturdy joins and a strong baseline presence.
Best suited to display applications where bold, geometric letterforms need to read quickly: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and interface or HUD-style graphics. It can also work for short bursts of text in signage or product labeling where a compact, high-impact aesthetic is desired.
The face reads as modern and machine-made, with a confident, high-impact voice. Its rounded-square construction evokes sci‑fi interfaces, industrial labeling, and performance-oriented branding, balancing friendliness from the softened corners with a decidedly forceful, utilitarian tone.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rect/superellipse forms into a robust, contemporary sans with strong presence. By keeping curves controlled and counters squared, it aims for a tech-forward, engineered look that remains approachable through softened corners.
Distinctive details include the squared bowl structures and the rectangular inner shapes, which give text a tiled, UI-like texture. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, and the sample text shows clear word shapes at display sizes with a dense, attention-grabbing color on the page.
