A heavy, extended sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry with consistent stroke thickness and generous radiused corners. Curves resolve into flat terminals rather than tapered joins, giving letters a machined, modular feel. Counters are generally rectangular with softened corners; the “O” is a rounded square with a centered eye, while “Q” adds a compact diagonal tail. The lowercase follows the same blocky construction (single-storey a and g), with a compact, rectangular rhythm and clear separation between straight segments and corners. Numerals are similarly squarish and engineered, including a slashed zero and segmented, bar-like forms for 2, 3, and 5.
Best suited to display settings where width and weight can create impact: headlines, brand marks, product names, posters, packaging, and tech or automotive-themed graphics. It also fits sporty or industrial identity systems and UI title treatments where a geometric, rounded-rect aesthetic is desired.
The overall tone is modern and engineered, balancing friendly rounded corners with assertive, high-impact mass. It reads as distinctly techno and contemporary, suited to environments that want precision, speed, and a slightly retro-digital flavor without feeling delicate or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate superelliptical, rounded-rectangle forms into a cohesive display alphabet that feels engineered and contemporary. Its consistent stroke logic, squared counters, and distinctive slashed and segmented numerals suggest an emphasis on strong recognition and a techno-forward personality in large sizes.
Distinctive details include the squared “C” and “S” with flattened curves, the rounded-square “O/Q” motif echoed across bowls and counters, and a dot style that reads as a solid geometric element rather than a delicate punctuation mark. The wide proportions and simplified shapes create strong word silhouettes and a bold presence in headlines.
