This typeface uses heavy, extended proportions with wide, flattened counters and a compact vertical rhythm. Strokes are mostly monolinear with softly rounded joins, while many terminals are cut with angled wedges that create a streamlined, engineered silhouette. Curves are built from broad ovals (notably in O, C, and G), and the overall texture is dense, producing strong horizontal emphasis. The lowercase echoes the uppercase construction, with sturdy bowls, short ascenders/descenders, and a single-storey a; punctuation-like apertures remain relatively tight at text sizes.
Best suited for large-scale applications where width and mass can be an advantage: headlines, posters, title treatments, branding marks, and packaging. It also works well for sports and tech-oriented identities where a bold, engineered feel is desired, and for short UI/label moments where maximum impact matters more than compact economy.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and performance-oriented, mixing 1970s/1980s display energy with a crisp, technical edge. Its wide stance and sharp cut-ins read as fast, mechanical, and assertive, suited to bold, attention-seeking statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through a wide footprint, heavy color, and stylized angular terminals. By combining rounded geometric forms with incisive cuts, it aims to feel both friendly and machine-made, optimized for punchy display typography.
Several glyphs show deliberate cutouts or stepped interior shapes (e.g., S, Z, and some diagonals), giving a subtle stencil/slot effect without fully breaking strokes. Numerals follow the same extended, low-counter logic, keeping figures cohesive with the caps for headline settings.
