A heavy, block-structured sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Corners are broadly radiused and joins are clean, producing a superelliptical, modular feel rather than circular bowls. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation; counters are compact and often squared-off, and terminals tend to be flat and orthogonal. Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey vernacular (notably the a and g) with short, squared shoulders and a sturdy, monoline presence. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with the 0 rendered as a rounded rectangle and other figures built from straight segments and softened corners.
Best suited to large-scale typography where its chunky geometry and rounded-square silhouettes can read clearly—such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and brand marks. It also fits interface titling and on-screen graphics for games or tech products, plus sporty and industrial packaging where a tough, modern voice is needed.
The overall tone reads contemporary and engineered, with a distinctly futuristic, hardware-like flavor. Its dense shapes and squared curves suggest performance, tech interfaces, and industrial design, projecting confidence and impact rather than delicacy or warmth.
The font appears designed to translate a rounded-rectangle, superelliptical system into a cohesive alphabet for strong display impact. Emphasis is placed on consistent corner radii, compact counters, and a stable, engineered rhythm that feels at home in contemporary digital and industrial contexts.
The design shows a strong preference for horizontal and vertical structure, with diagonals used sparingly and kept broad (e.g., V/W/X). The rounding is consistent and generous, helping the very dense letterforms stay legible at display sizes while preserving a crisp, fabricated aesthetic.
