A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle bowls and soft, squared corners. Strokes are consistently thick with clean, mostly monoline behavior, and curves resolve into superelliptical arcs rather than circles. Counters tend to be rectangular and compact, with frequent apertures and small cut-ins that give several letters a segmented, almost stencil-like construction. Terminals are broadly rounded, diagonals are crisp and stable, and overall spacing reads open enough for display despite the dense interior shapes.
Best suited to large sizes where the squared curves and segmented details can read clearly—headlines, branding marks, posters, and packaging with a tech or industrial theme. It can also work for game or product UI labeling when used with generous tracking and careful contrast against the background.
The face projects a futuristic, engineered tone—more machine-made than humanist. Its squarish curves and modular detailing evoke sci‑fi interfaces, motorsport graphics, and late-20th-century techno styling, balancing friendliness from the rounding with a decidedly technical edge.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a bold, high-impact display voice, prioritizing a cohesive modular system and a contemporary techno aesthetic over conventional text readability.
Uppercase forms appear especially boxy and wide, while lowercase retains the same squared rhythm with simplified joins and compact counters. Figures follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with strong horizontal emphasis and consistent corner radii that keep the set visually cohesive.
