A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with broad counters and a compact, blocky silhouette that stays clean at large sizes. Curves tend toward superellipse-like forms rather than true circles, and terminals are blunt and squared-off, producing a sturdy, engineered rhythm. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and simple, functional shapes, while numerals are equally bold and tightly drawn for strong presence.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and short-form copy where impact and silhouette recognition matter. It works well for brand marks, packaging, product labeling, and UI/tech or sports-adjacent graphics that benefit from bold, rounded geometry. For longer text, it will be more comfortable at larger sizes with added spacing to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a utilitarian, tech-forward feel. Its rounded-square geometry reads friendly enough to avoid harshness, but the mass and compactness keep it punchy and commanding—well suited to energetic, high-impact messaging.
Designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a smooth, geometric language—combining squared construction with rounded corners to feel modern, robust, and approachable. The forms prioritize bold presence and consistency across letters and figures for strong brand and display performance.
Round characters maintain a squarish inner/outer contour, giving the face a distinctive “softened hardware” look. The heavy weight compresses internal space, so clarity is strongest where generous tracking and larger sizes are used.
