A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-square construction and consistently thick strokes. Curves resolve into softened corners and broad, superelliptical bowls, giving letters a sturdy, modular feel. Counters are relatively small and often rectangular or rounded-rectangular, while terminals are clean and flat with minimal contrast. The overall rhythm is compact and engineered, with simplified joins and sturdy diagonals that keep forms crisp at large sizes.
Best suited to display typography where impact and a strong geometric voice are desired—headlines, posters, identity marks, product branding, and packaging. It can also work for UI labels or signage when a compact, tech-forward tone is appropriate, though the dense counters suggest avoiding very small text sizes.
The tone is modern and machine-like, with a purposeful, utilitarian confidence. Its rounded-square geometry reads as contemporary and tech-oriented, evoking control panels, sports branding, and industrial labeling rather than editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual solidity using a rounded-rectangle geometric system, balancing hard-edged structure with softened corners for approachability. It prioritizes a bold, contemporary presence and consistent, modular shapes that reproduce cleanly in branding-oriented applications.
Straight-sided rounds (notably in O/0 and similar bowls) emphasize a squircle silhouette, and many apertures are narrowed for a punchy, dense texture. The numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, pairing well with the uppercase for bold, attention-driven settings.
