A heavy, squared sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry. Strokes are monolinear with large radiused corners, producing boxy counters in letters like O, D, and P and a consistent, engineered rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt and orthogonal, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) keep sharp joins that add angular energy against the soft corners. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with simple, largely geometric bowls and minimal modulation; figures follow the same squarish, rounded-corner construction for a highly uniform texture in display sizes.
Best suited to display settings where its chunky, rounded-square construction can read clearly: headlines, posters, product and packaging graphics, team or esports-style branding, and bold UI accents. It can also work for short labels or signage-style text where a strong, technical voice is desired.
The overall tone reads modern and mechanical—confident, tough, and slightly retro-futuristic. Its rounded-square forms suggest technology, equipment labeling, and athletic branding, balancing friendliness from the curves with a no-nonsense, industrial firmness.
The font appears designed to deliver a robust, contemporary sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle skeleton—prioritizing impact, uniformity, and a machine-made personality over delicate detail. The consistent superellipse language across letters and numerals suggests an intention to create a cohesive, brandable display face that stays legible while feeling purpose-built and modern.
The design leans on wide interior shapes and squared apertures, which makes the silhouette feel modular and sign-like. Several forms show a “cut” or notched feeling in bowls and joins, reinforcing a manufactured, component-based aesthetic.
