A compact geometric sans with a squared-round (superellipse) construction throughout. Strokes are heavy and even, with rounded corners that soften otherwise rectilinear forms, giving counters a rounded-rectangle feel in letters like O, D, and Q. The rhythm is tight and sturdy, with short curves, straight terminals, and a generally modular build; diagonals (A, V, W, X) are crisp and angular while still respecting the softened corner language. Lowercase forms remain simplified and robust, with single-storey shapes and minimal curvature, emphasizing clarity and consistency in dense settings.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display text where its compact, blocky shapes can deliver impact. It also works well for branding systems—especially tech, sports, automotive, or product packaging—where a consistent squared-round geometry creates a recognizable wordmark or label style.
The overall tone reads modern and technical, with an industrial, engineered confidence. Its squared geometry suggests UI hardware, sci‑fi titling, or athletic/utility branding, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, high-impact sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry for strong, confident display use. It prioritizes uniformity, compactness, and a modular silhouette that holds up in large sizes and bold applications.
Wide apertures and rectangular counters create strong internal negative space, helping the heavy weight stay legible. Several glyphs show deliberately stylized, display-minded details (notably the angular S/Z and the compact, squared figures), reinforcing a purposeful, contemporary voice.
