A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like shapes. Curves are squarish and corners are generously radiused, producing wide bowls and counters with a distinctly engineered feel. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with sturdy joins and minimal modulation; apertures tend to be tight, and many forms read as compact blocks with internal cutouts. Terminals are blunt and horizontal/vertical, and diagonals (as in K, V, W, X, Y) are thick and steady, giving the alphabet a strong, uniform texture in lines of text.
Best suited for display settings where a strong silhouette matters: headlines, posters, sports or tech branding, packaging, and UI titles. It can work for short blocks of text at larger sizes, but the tight apertures and compact counters suggest it will be most comfortable when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, leaning toward a contemporary, techno-leaning voice. Its rounded-square geometry adds a playful, game-like character while still feeling industrial and utilitarian. The dense silhouettes and compact counters create a punchy, attention-grabbing presence suited to energetic, modern branding.
This design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact geometric voice with rounded-square forms that feel modern and engineered. The consistent monoline structure and superellipse-like shaping suggest a focus on bold legibility and a distinctive, modular look for branding and display typography.
Uppercase forms feel particularly solid and emblematic, with squared-off curves that keep letters readable as shapes from a distance. Numerals match the same rounded-rect logic and look designed for impact rather than delicacy, reinforcing a consistent, modular system across letters and figures.
