A heavy, monoline sans built from square-rounded geometry: straight stems and bars meet generously rounded corners, and curves resolve into flattened superellipse-like bowls. Counters are compact and rectangular, producing a dense, punchy color, while terminals tend to end in blunt cuts rather than tapered strokes. The overall rhythm is sturdy and uniform, with simple construction and minimal modulation, giving letters a machined, modular feel.
Best suited to display settings where impact and legibility at larger sizes matter: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and product or interface titling. The dense forms and squared rounding also fit sports, automotive, industrial, and technology-oriented visual systems.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a contemporary, engineered character. Its squared rounding reads sporty and tech-forward rather than friendly, projecting strength, reliability, and a slightly retro-futuristic edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with clean, geometric construction, pairing industrial sturdiness with rounded-corner refinement. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent stroke behavior for emphatic, modern display typography.
Round letters and numerals lean toward rounded-rectangle silhouettes, and shapes like 0/8/9 emphasize boxed-in counters. The lowercase maintains a strong, structured presence, and the set favors clear, bold silhouettes over delicate detail.
