A heavy, geometric sans with a squared, superellipse construction: rounded-rectangle bowls, squared counters, and broadly chamfered/softened corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, with compact apertures and short, flattened terminals that emphasize a blocky silhouette. Uppercase forms are wide and steady, while the lowercase keeps a tall, sturdy presence; overall spacing reads tight-to-moderate, producing a solid, continuous texture in text. Numerals match the same squared, rounded architecture, with streamlined curves and minimal interior detailing.
Best suited to display settings where its mass and geometric rhythm can read cleanly: headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and identity work. It also fits interface or on-screen contexts that benefit from a sturdy, tech-forward voice, especially for titles, navigation, and short labels rather than long-form body copy.
The font projects a modern, engineered tone—confident, high-impact, and slightly retro-futurist. Its squared curves and tight openings suggest technology, machinery, and speed-oriented branding rather than softness or editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a consistent, modular geometry—using rounded-rectangle construction to feel both technical and approachable. It prioritizes impact and brandability, aiming for a distinctive, contemporary silhouette that remains coherent across letters and numerals.
Roundness is expressed through superellipse-like corners rather than circular curves, giving letters a “soft square” feel throughout. The design favors closed forms and minimal contrast, which strengthens large-size punch but can reduce differentiation in dense paragraphs.
