A heavy, extended sans with rounded-rectangle curves and squared-off terminals. Forms are broad and horizontally emphasized, with smooth bowls (O, C, e) and gently flattened curves that read as engineered rather than calligraphic. Stroke weight is consistent and sturdy, counters are open, and joins are clean and unembellished. The lowercase is compact and functional, with single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a flat, efficient s; numerals are wide and stable with simple, cut-in angles on 2 and 7.
Best suited to large-size applications where its broad proportions and sturdy shapes can project impact—such as headlines, posters, sports or tech branding, product packaging, and bold logotypes. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when ample horizontal space is available.
The overall tone feels modern and performance-oriented, combining a friendly roundedness with a strong, industrial presence. Its wide stance and blunt endings suggest speed, durability, and a contemporary tech aesthetic rather than softness or whimsy.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-impact voice with a controlled geometric construction—prioritizing immediacy, clarity, and a distinctive wide silhouette for display-led typography.
Spacing and rhythm appear optimized for bold display: wide letterforms create a strong horizontal flow, while the rounded corners prevent the texture from becoming overly harsh. The shapes stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving the set a cohesive, system-like feel.
