A heavy, extended sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and consistently softened corners. Curves resolve into broad, flattened arcs and straight horizontals, creating a distinctly superelliptical rhythm across rounds like C, O, and G. Strokes stay uniform, with wide, stable shoulders and closed-in counters that emphasize solidity. Terminals are predominantly horizontal and blunt, and diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are sharp but still feel engineered due to the overall squared-round construction. Numerals echo the same rounded-square logic, with a particularly boxy 0 and segmented-looking horizontals in several figures.
Best suited to display settings where impact and a technical voice are desirable: headlines, posters, packaging callouts, esports/sports identities, and game or product interface titling. It can work for short bursts of text, but the compact counters and dense texture suggest using generous tracking and sizes for maximum clarity.
The tone is modern and machine-made, with a strong sci‑fi/tech signage feel. Its broad stance and squared rounding communicate power and speed, reading confidently in bold branding contexts and performance-oriented visuals.
The letterforms appear intended to merge a contemporary grotesque skeleton with rounded-rectangle construction, prioritizing a bold, engineered presence. The consistent corner softening and wide set aim to deliver a futuristic, high-performance look that remains clean and systematic.
The design favors broad horizontal presence and tight interior spaces, which helps it look dense and impactful. In text, the strong rectangular rounds and short apertures give a distinctive, display-first texture that stays consistent from caps to lowercase and figures.
