A heavy, extended sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly chamfered corners throughout. Strokes are monoline and dense, with counters carved as horizontal superelliptical slots that emphasize a streamlined, engineered feel. Curves resolve into squarish bowls rather than circles, and joins are clean and controlled, producing a uniform, compact texture in text. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with broad proportions and low internal apertures that read best at display sizes.
Well suited to bold headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where a strong, modern presence is needed. It also fits tech and gaming interfaces, esports or sports identity systems, and motion graphics where its wide, rounded-rect forms remain distinctive at scale.
The overall tone is modern and machine-made, with a sleek sci‑fi and motorsport sensibility. Its wide stance and enclosed shapes project strength and stability, while the rounded corners keep it friendly enough for contemporary product branding.
The design appears intended to translate superelliptical, rounded-rectangle geometry into a high-impact display sans that feels engineered and contemporary. It prioritizes silhouette strength and a cohesive, futuristic rhythm over airy readability in small text.
Many letters rely on horizontal cut-ins and softened terminals rather than open apertures, giving lines a continuous, banded rhythm. The density and narrow internal spaces can reduce clarity at small sizes, but amplify impact and cohesion in large settings.
