A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction throughout. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving counters and bowls a squarish, engineered feel. Strokes are monoline and sturdy, with broad horizontals and vertically stable stems; terminals are mostly straight or blunt, keeping edges crisp despite the rounding. The lowercase shows a tall, prominent x-height and compact ascenders/descenders, and the numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry for a uniform, high-impact texture.
Best suited for display roles where bold presence and quick recognition matter: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and large-format signage. It also fits UI banners, esports/sports graphics, and product labeling where a modern, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, with a distinctly technical, built-from-components character. Its softened corners add approachability, but the mass and squared curves keep it feeling industrial and performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive, rounded-rect geometry—combining the friendliness of softened corners with a firm, mechanical structure for contemporary display typography.
At larger sizes the superelliptic counters (notably in O/0 and similar forms) read as a signature motif, while the dense weight creates strong figure–ground contrast suitable for short, high-visibility messages. The rhythm is consistent and blocklike, emphasizing uniformity and punch over delicacy.
