A geometric sans built from squared, superellipse-like contours with prominent rounded corners and occasional chamfered cuts. Strokes are monolinear and heavy, with compact counters (notably in O/0, B, 8) that read as rounded rectangles. Terminals tend to be flat and engineered, and several forms use angular notches or clipped joins (such as the diagonals in K, X, Y and the tail treatment in Q) that reinforce a constructed, modular feel. Overall proportions are steady and blocky, producing a dense, high-impact texture in words and numerals.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its compact counters and blocky rhythm can deliver impact—headlines, posters, logos, and packaging. The uniform, modular shapes also lend themselves to UI labels, HUD/gaming overlays, team/sports graphics, and tech-oriented product branding where a sturdy, engineered voice is desirable.
The face projects a technological, utilitarian tone—clean, mechanical, and slightly game/sport coded. Its rounded-square geometry feels modern and hardware-like, balancing friendliness from the softened corners with a tough, industrial stance.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a rounded-rect industrial geometry into a readable sans, prioritizing strong silhouette, consistent modular construction, and a contemporary tech aesthetic. It aims for immediate recognition at larger sizes while keeping an orderly, system-like coherence across letters and figures.
The design maintains a consistent corner radius across round and straight forms, creating strong family cohesion. The numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic (0 and 8 especially), making them well-matched for interfaces and display settings where a unified alphanumeric system matters.
