A heavy, extended sans with a geometric construction built around rounded-rectangle (superellipse) bowls and counters. Corners are consistently softened, while terminals are predominantly flat and squared-off, giving the letterforms a machined, modular feel. Curves are shallow and controlled, apertures tend to be tight, and the overall rhythm is blocky but clean, with simplified forms that stay visually consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display settings where width and mass can project impact: headlines, packaging, brand marks, posters, and high-contrast signage. It also fits interface or product contexts where a technical, geometric voice is desirable, though it will be most effective at larger sizes due to its dense, closed shapes.
The tone is contemporary and technical, reading as engineered rather than humanist. Its wide stance and softened-square geometry suggest sci‑fi interfaces, motorsport branding, and product design aesthetics, with an energetic, forward-leaning presence even in upright forms.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, engineered display sans that combines bold presence with smooth, rounded-square geometry. The intention appears to be clear recognizability and a cohesive ‘tech’ silhouette across letters and numbers, optimized for striking, contemporary applications.
Distinctive superelliptical shapes show up most clearly in round letters and digits, producing squarish counters that remain evenly rounded. The lowercase keeps a compact, functional look with minimal modulation, and the numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic for strong set coherence.
