A heavy, geometric sans built from squared-off, superellipse-like shapes with consistently rounded corners. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast and a steady, engineered rhythm across letters and numerals. Counters tend toward rounded rectangles, apertures are relatively tight, and many joins and terminals resolve into clean, flat cuts rather than tapered endings. The overall spacing reads sturdy and controlled, with broad silhouettes and a distinctly blocky profile that remains smooth due to the softened corners.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and short UI-style strings where its blocky, rounded-square forms can read as intentional and modern. It also works well for posters, esports or gaming graphics, product packaging, and bold signage where high-impact shapes and a techno flavor are desired.
The design projects a modern, tech-forward tone—confident, mechanical, and optimized for on-screen impact. Its rounded-square construction evokes interface labels, hardware markings, and sci-fi titling, giving text a sleek but assertive presence.
The letterforms appear intended to merge geometric efficiency with a softened, contemporary edge—delivering a robust display sans that feels engineered and futuristic while avoiding sharp, aggressive corners.
The font’s squared curves and enclosed shapes create strong word images at larger sizes, while the tighter counters can make dense passages feel dark and compact. Numerals and capitals share the same industrial geometry, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like feel.
