A heavy, rounded-rectilinear sans with squarish bowls and generously radiused corners. The strokes are monolinear and dense, producing compact counters and small apertures; several letters use horizontal cut-ins and notches that read like engineered “ink-trap” details. Curves resolve into superelliptic shapes rather than true circles, and diagonals (as in K, V, W, X, Y) are chunky and sharply joined. Numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle logic, with squared interiors and flattened terminals for a cohesive, modular rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display typography where the chunky forms and angular notches can be appreciated—posters, logotypes, packaging marks, esports or motorsport branding, and game or tech interface titles. It can also work for bold labels and signage where a futuristic, engineered feel is desired.
The overall tone feels synthetic and forward-looking—more console UI and sci‑fi signage than editorial. Its notches and rectangular counters suggest machinery, racing, and digital hardware, giving it an assertive, action-oriented voice.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a robust, high-impact display sans, emphasizing a modular, techno aesthetic with distinctive cut-in details for recognizability. It prioritizes silhouette strength and a cohesive geometric system over open counters and text-size clarity.
The tight apertures and enclosed shapes create a strong silhouette at display sizes, while the interior cut-ins add distinctive character that can become busy when set small. The uppercase is especially emblematic, with closed forms (O/Q) and squared bowls (B/D/P/R) reinforcing the geometric system.
