A heavy, geometric sans built from squared forms with generously rounded corners, giving many letters a superellipse/rounded-rectangle skeleton. Strokes are monoline and massy, with broad counters that stay open even at tight joins. Terminals are mostly flat, and several glyphs show deliberate notched cuts or chamfered corners, creating a subtly stencil-like, engineered texture. Lowercase forms are compact with a high x-height and short extenders, while capitals are wide and stable with squarish bowls in letters like O, D, and P. Numerals follow the same squared, cut-corner logic for a cohesive, display-forward rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, logo marks, and branding systems that need a strong, modern footprint. It can also work well for packaging, gaming/esports graphics, and UI/overlay titling where squared, rounded forms and high-impact weight help maintain clarity at a glance.
The overall tone is bold and functional, with a contemporary, tech-and-transport feel. Its rounded-square geometry reads modern and industrial, while the small cut-ins add a rugged, athletic edge that suggests motion, machinery, or equipment branding.
Likely designed as a high-impact display sans that merges rounded-square geometry with subtle cut details to feel both friendly and engineered. The high x-height and open counters suggest an aim for legibility at large sizes while retaining a distinctive, industrial signature.
The design maintains consistent corner radii and internal rounding across bowls and counters, which keeps large text looking smooth rather than harsh. The engineered notches are most noticeable in small details and can become a defining texture in headlines and logos, especially in all caps.
