A dense, heavy sans with forms built from rounded rectangles and superellipse-like curves. Corners are consistently softened, while terminals are predominantly flat, producing a sturdy, machined silhouette. Counters tend to be squarish and compact (notably in O, D, and 0), and interior apertures are often narrow, emphasizing mass and ink-trap-like notches in a few joins. Uppercase shapes feel wide-shouldered and geometric; lowercase follows the same modular logic with mostly single-storey constructions and simplified, boxy bowls.
Best suited to display contexts where impact and immediacy are key: headlines, posters, packaging, esports or sports branding, and tech or gaming interfaces. It can also work for short labels and navigation elements when given sufficient size and spacing to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a modern industrial edge. Its squared rounding and compact counters evoke arcade, sci‑fi UI, and motorsport branding, giving it a purposeful, high-impact personality. The texture reads confident and loud rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a geometric, squircle-driven construction that stays friendly through rounded corners while remaining distinctly mechanical. It prioritizes bold shapes, tight apertures, and a consistent modular rhythm to create a recognizable, contemporary display voice.
Round letters and numerals share a consistent squircle geometry, helping the set feel cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures. The sample text shows strong headline presence, while the tight openings and dense strokes suggest it performs best with generous tracking and at display sizes where the distinctive inner cut-ins remain clear.
