A heavy, geometric sans built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) bowls. Corners are broadly radiused, terminals are mostly flat and horizontal/vertical, and strokes keep a steady, blocky presence with compact interior counters. Uppercase forms read tall and wide with strong horizontals (notably in E/F/T), while round letters like O/C/G stay boxy-rounded rather than circular. Numerals and lowercase follow the same molded, modular logic, with frequent notch-like cut-ins and simplified joins that emphasize a machined, display-first silhouette.
Best suited to large sizes where the distinctive rounded-square forms and notched details are clearly visible—headlines, posters, branding systems, product marks, and sports or esports graphics. It can work for short UI labels or signage where a sturdy, high-contrast silhouette is needed, but longer passages may feel dense due to tight counters and heavy color.
The overall tone feels contemporary and engineered—confident, high-impact, and slightly sci‑fi. Its rounded-square geometry and tight counters suggest speed, equipment, and digital interfaces rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a modern, engineered feel, using superelliptical geometry and simplified construction to produce a compact, durable voice for display typography and identity work.
In text settings the dense weight and narrow openings create dark, even texture, with distinctive shapes in S, Z, and the numerals that lean toward a constructed, logo-friendly aesthetic. The dotted i/j and the single-storey lowercase a reinforce a simplified, modern character.
