This typeface uses expanded proportions with a heavy, even stroke and rounded-rectangle geometry throughout. Curves are built from squarish, superellipse-like forms, giving bowls and counters a softly squared look rather than true circles. Terminals are consistently rounded, while joins and corners feel engineered and precise, producing a sturdy, modular rhythm. Letterforms favor broad horizontals and wide apertures, with compact internal counters that stay legible at display sizes; numerals and the slashed zero follow the same rounded, technical construction.
Ideal for branding, headlines, and short statements where a futuristic, industrial flavor is desired. It also suits product packaging, esports or sports graphics, and interface titles or dashboard-style labels where bold, high-contrast shapes need to read quickly. For long passages, it’s better used sparingly as a display face rather than a continuous text workhorse.
The overall tone is contemporary and tech-forward, combining a friendly softness from the rounded corners with a robust, machine-made presence. It evokes digital interfaces, motorsport graphics, and sci‑fi branding—confident and streamlined rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to modernize a geometric sans into a more technical, interface-friendly style by using rounded-rectangle construction and wide proportions. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, consistent stroke weight, and a clean, engineered feel suited to contemporary display typography.
The design reads best when given space: the expanded width and solid strokes create strong silhouettes and a clear, graphic texture in headlines. The distinctive squared rounding is a consistent motif across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping text feel cohesive and purpose-built.
