A heavy, extended sans with a squared-off, superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, while terminals finish flat and crisp. Strokes are consistently thick, with generous internal counters that keep letters open despite the weight. Many forms mix soft corner radii with sharp diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y and the oblique strokes of K), creating a tight, mechanical rhythm. The lowercase maintains a compact, engineered feel—single-storey a with a horizontal bar, a closed, boxy e, and a q with a straight, minimal tail—while figures are wide and modular, with segmented horizontals in 2/3/5 and an 8 built from stacked rounded rectangles.
Best suited to display roles where width and impact are assets: headlines, titling, logotypes, and bold packaging or poster work. It also fits interface and entertainment contexts—game menus, tech product graphics, and motion titles—where its squared-round geometry reads as contemporary and functional. For dense body copy, the extended proportions are more likely to feel dominant than neutral.
The overall tone is modern and utilitarian, leaning toward sci‑fi and performance branding. Rounded rectangles soften the voice just enough to feel approachable, but the broad proportions and hard joins keep it assertive and machine-made. It suggests speed, hardware interfaces, and competitive, high-contrast display settings.
The design appears intended to blend geometric, rounded-rectangle construction with assertive width for high-impact modern branding. By combining soft radii with crisp straight segments, it aims for a futuristic, equipment-like voice that remains legible and consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The font’s wide stance and squared counters create strong silhouette recognition at headline sizes. Curves are deliberately “boxed” rather than circular, and many glyphs show horizontal emphasis through long crossbars and flat shoulders, reinforcing a sturdy, engineered texture in text lines.
