A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly squared counters. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving round letters like O, Q, and 0 a superelliptic, capsule-like feel. Strokes are predominantly straight and planar with crisp terminals; the forms read compact and sturdy, with wide shoulders and minimal modulation. Lowercase shows single‑storey a and g, a short-armed r, and generally tight apertures that reinforce a dense, poster-friendly rhythm. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, with chunky proportions and clear, simplified shapes.
Well suited to headlines, posters, labels, and bold brand marks where compact, high-impact letterforms are an advantage. The squared-round shapes also fit contemporary packaging and sports or team-oriented graphics, as well as short UI or signage phrases that need immediate, strong recognition.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, leaning toward sporty and industrial signage. Its squared rounding adds a friendly, retro-tech flavor while keeping the voice direct and authoritative. The dense silhouettes and restrained detailing communicate impact and confidence more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a consistent rounded-rectangle geometry, balancing hard-edged, mechanical structure with softened corners for approachability. It prioritizes bold silhouette clarity and a unified geometric system for branding and display use.
Distinctive superellipse curves create consistent “soft-square” geometry across bowls and corners, making the font feel cohesive at large sizes. In longer text the tight apertures and strong massing emphasize a dark, emphatic texture, suggesting it is best used where presence matters more than airiness.
