A heavy, geometric sans built from squared-off forms with broad rounding, giving many letters a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle skeleton. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and corners frequently resolve into chamfer-like cuts or crisp terminals that keep the silhouettes sharp despite the softened geometry. Counters are compact and often rectangular or pill-shaped, while apertures tend to be tight, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text. The lowercase follows the same blocky logic with a tall x-height and simplified joins, and the numerals echo the same squared, engineered construction.
Best suited to logos, headlines, packaging titles, posters, and identity systems that need a bold, modern voice. It also works well for gaming and tech UI display moments (titles, labels, splash screens) where compact counters and squared rounds read as intentional stylistic cues; for longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels technological and performance-driven—confident, assertive, and slightly game-like. Its mix of soft rounding and hard cuts suggests modern hardware, motorsport branding, and sci-fi interfaces rather than editorial or classical settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, futuristic display presence by combining rounded-rectangle construction with sharp, engineered terminals. It prioritizes punchy silhouettes and a tightly packed texture to create immediate recognition and a contemporary, techno-industrial personality.
Round letters (like O/C/G) read as squarish superellipses, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) are cut cleanly and feel stable and mechanical. Several forms use distinctive internal horizontal cuts and tight counters, which amplifies the font’s “stenciled/engineered” flavor at larger sizes but creates a deliberately compact, chunky rhythm in running lines.
