A heavy, squared-round sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes read essentially uniform, with large, solid silhouettes and compact internal counters that keep letters dark and punchy at display sizes. Curves are handled as superellipse-like arcs rather than perfect circles, giving bowls and shoulders a squarish, machined feel. Proportions favor a tall lowercase with short ascenders/descenders, and the overall rhythm is steady and tightly controlled with minimal modulation or calligraphic influence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and short statements where dense, high-impact letterforms are an advantage. The squarish rounds and uniform stroke texture also fit UI titles, esports or sports branding, product packaging, and signage where a sturdy, modern tone is desired.
The tone is bold and engineered: modern, tech-forward, and slightly retro, like signage from a sci‑fi interface or arcade-era branding. Its rounded corners soften the mass, keeping it friendly while still feeling assertive and high-impact. The overall impression is energetic and purposeful rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive rounded-rect theme—combining hard, structural geometry with softened corners for a contemporary, approachable industrial look. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistency across letters and numerals for branding and display readability.
Distinctive rounded-rect geometry is especially apparent in O/Q/0 and in the squared terminals of E/F/L/T. Diagonal-heavy letters (K, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and angular, contrasting with the softened bowls, which adds a sporty, athletic cadence. Numerals are similarly blocky and rectangular, designed to match the caps’ weight and presence.
