A heavy geometric sans built from squared, rounded-rectangle skeletons with tight, rectangular counters and crisp interior corners. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving letters like C, G, O, and e a superelliptical, machined feel. Strokes are predominantly monolinear with sharp terminals and frequent right angles, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and steep, creating a firm, engineered rhythm. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey construction where applicable, with compact apertures and a generally closed, high-density texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, product marks, packaging, and sports or motorsport-style graphics where bold geometry is an asset. It can also work for UI labels and wayfinding-style callouts when large enough to preserve its tight apertures and compact counters.
The overall tone is modern and technical, suggesting interfaces, hardware labeling, and industrial design. Its squared geometry and condensed internal space convey strength and control, with a slightly retro-digital flavor reminiscent of sci‑fi titling and sport/vehicle graphics.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, contemporary display voice built from rounded-rectilinear primitives, prioritizing strong silhouette recognition and a cohesive, industrial geometry across letters and numbers.
Distinctive cues include squared bowls and counters (notably in B, D, O, P, R) and a boxy, modular lowercase that keeps forms economical and grid-like. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, producing strong, sign-like silhouettes that stay consistent in weight and corner treatment.
