A heavy, extended sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are monolinear and crisp, with generous horizontal proportions and compact interior counters that read as rectangular apertures. Many joins and terminals are blunt or squared-off, and several forms incorporate deliberate cut-ins and notches (notably in E/F/S and some numerals), giving the design a engineered, modular rhythm. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s geometry with a large x-height, short extenders, and tightly managed spacing that keeps the color dense and uniform.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where its wide, blocky geometry can fully register—headlines, poster typography, esports/gaming graphics, tech product branding, and UI-style hero text. It can also work for short labels or signage where a bold, engineered look is desired, but extended passages may feel heavy and compact due to the dense counters.
The overall tone is modern and machine-made, leaning into a sci‑fi/tech aesthetic. Its broad stance and chunky forms feel assertive and performance-oriented, suggesting speed, hardware, and digital interfaces rather than editorial refinement.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a rounded-rectangular, industrial geometry into a cohesive alphabet, prioritizing impact and a distinctive sci‑fi silhouette. The recurring notches and flattened curves suggest an intention to feel technical and fabricated, like forms cut from a template or milled from a solid shape.
The design relies on straight segments and rounded corners more than continuous curves, producing a squarish flow even in traditionally round letters. At smaller sizes the tight counters and dense horizontal mass can reduce clarity, while at display sizes the distinctive notches and rectangular bowls become a defining signature.
