A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse shapes. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with softened corners and squared counters that create a chunky, engineered texture. Curves tend toward flattened arcs rather than perfect circles, and terminals are clean and blunt. The lowercase is compact with simple construction (single-storey a and g), while the numerals and caps emphasize broad, stable silhouettes and tight interior apertures.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as headlines, logos, packaging, and poster typography where its chunky geometry can carry the layout. It also fits tech and sports branding systems that need a strong, modern voice, and can work for signage or UI accents when used at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is bold and confident with a contemporary, machine-made feel. Its rounded-squared geometry reads modern and sporty, suggesting technology, automotive, or performance branding rather than editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through rounded-square geometry and simplified, sturdy forms. It prioritizes immediate recognizability and a contemporary, engineered aesthetic over delicate detail, making it well matched to bold display typography.
Large ink coverage and relatively small counters make the design feel dense and high-impact, especially in all-caps. The distinctive superelliptical ‘O’/‘0’ shapes and wide, flattened bowls give text a strong horizontal momentum, while the blunt joins and corners keep it crisp and sign-like.
