A geometric sans built from squarish, rounded-rectangle forms, with broad proportions and a dense, blocky silhouette. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with softened outer corners and mostly blunt, straight terminals. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls (notably in O/o, D, P) and squared-in counters that keep interiors compact. The lowercase is tall and sturdy with minimal modulation; joins and diagonals are clean and simplified, and spacing reads tight but consistent for a strong, poster-like rhythm.
Best suited to large sizes where its compact counters and rounded-square details can read clearly—headlines, posters, short UI/hero text, and bold brand marks. It can work for product packaging and sports or tech branding where a robust, geometric voice is desired, but may feel heavy for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone feels modern and engineered—confident, synthetic, and slightly retro-digital. Its rounded-square geometry suggests interfaces, machinery, and performance branding rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to translate superelliptical, rounded-rectangle geometry into a highly assertive display sans, prioritizing impact and a consistent modular system across letters and numbers. It aims for a tech-forward look while keeping forms friendly through softened corners.
Figures follow the same rounded-rect logic, with segmented, horizontal-bar construction in several numerals and a particularly sturdy, display-oriented presence. The uppercase and lowercase share a unified shape vocabulary, giving mixed-case settings a cohesive, modular feel.
