A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms. Strokes are monolinear with broad, blunt terminals and consistently softened corners, producing a solid, blocky silhouette. Counters are mostly rectangular and inset, with tight apertures and short internal cuts (notably in E, F, S, and numerals), which gives the face a distinctive engineered rhythm. Proportions are expansive horizontally with a high x-height and minimal stroke modulation, and the overall spacing feels robust and display-oriented.
Best suited for bold headlines, titling, and branding where a strong geometric voice is desired. It can work well in tech and gaming interfaces, sports or automotive graphics, product packaging, and any display setting that benefits from a compact, industrial texture rather than delicate detail.
The tone is modern and machine-made, with a confident, high-impact presence. Its rounded-square geometry reads as futuristic and tech-forward, while the compressed openings and slabby shapes nod to arcade, motorsport, and industrial interface aesthetics.
The likely intention is a high-impact display sans that merges soft-cornered superellipse geometry with angular, inset counter construction for a futuristic, industrial feel. It appears designed to be immediately recognizable, with modular letter construction that maintains consistency across an extended character set.
The design relies on repeated modular motifs—rounded-square bowls, squared-off curves, and rectangular counters—creating strong consistency across letters and figures. At smaller sizes the tight internal openings may begin to close, but at larger sizes the sculpted inktraps/cut-ins and inset counters become a defining texture.
