A geometric sans with extended proportions and a superelliptic construction: round letters are built from rounded rectangles, producing broad bowls, flat-ish curves, and smooth corner radii. Strokes are monolinear with clean terminals, and the overall rhythm is wide and steady, giving words a strong horizontal sweep. Counters are generous and open, with squared-off apertures and compact joins that keep the shapes crisp even at heavy sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, with wide, stable forms and a particularly architectural feel in characters like 2, 5, and 7.
Best suited for headlines, wordmarks, and short bursts of text where width and presence are assets—such as branding, posters, product packaging, and event or sports graphics. It can also work for UI labels or interface accents when a strong, contemporary voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is modern and forward-looking, with a streamlined, engineered feel that reads as tech and performance-oriented. Its wide stance and softened corners balance toughness with approachability, suggesting contemporary UI, gaming, and transportation aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modern display sans built from superelliptic geometry—prioritizing a distinctive, wide silhouette, smooth rounded corners, and a clean, engineered consistency across letters and figures.
Uppercase forms feel display-driven, with broad, flattened curves in C/O/Q and a low, wide profile that emphasizes horizontality. The lowercase is similarly geometric, using single-storey structures and rounded-rect bowls that keep the texture uniform; dots and small details are minimal and neatly integrated.
