A heavy geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms and superelliptical curves. Strokes are monoline and tightly controlled, with broad proportions, flat terminals, and consistent corner radii that keep the design smooth rather than sharp. Counters are compact and often rectangular (notably in O/0), and several joins are simplified into angular wedges for letters like K, V, W, X, and Y. The lowercase follows a single-storey construction where applicable (a, g), with a tall, sturdy stance and minimal differentiation between thick and thin parts.
Best suited to large sizes where its compact counters and distinctive geometric construction remain clear—headlines, branding, product marks, sports or gaming graphics, UI titles, and packaging. For long-form text, the tight apertures and dense shapes may call for generous tracking and leading.
The overall tone feels engineered and forward-looking, evoking interfaces, machinery, and sci‑fi branding. Its rounded geometry adds friendliness, but the blocky silhouettes and tight apertures keep it assertive and performance-driven.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary, technology-oriented voice: maximizing impact through broad, rounded-rectilinear shapes while maintaining a clean, consistent system across letters and numerals. It prioritizes bold silhouette recognition and a cohesive modular feel for prominent display use.
Distinctive details include a squared, inset-style counter treatment (especially in O/0 and numerals) and an S/s that reads as a stacked, segmented curve, reinforcing the modular, techno rhythm. Numerals are similarly geometric, with strong horizontals on 2/3/5 and a compact, squared bowl on 6/9.
