A heavy geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms, with broad proportions and a flat, engineered rhythm. Corners are consistently softened, while terminals are mostly straight-cut, creating a clean, modular silhouette. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and several letters incorporate distinctive notches or open apertures (notably in forms like C, S, and G), reinforcing a machined, contemporary feel. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with minimal stroke modulation, and figures follow the same squared, rounded construction for strong visual consistency.
Best suited to display typography where bold, geometric forms are an advantage: headlines, titles, packaging, team or event branding, and tech or gaming-focused interfaces. It also works well for short labels and signage where a strong, modern presence is desired.
The overall tone feels futuristic and mechanical—confident, energetic, and optimized for impact. Its rounded-square geometry reads as tech-forward and sporty, suggesting interfaces, hardware, and racing or esports aesthetics rather than editorial neutrality.
The font appears designed to deliver a robust, contemporary voice using superelliptical geometry—balancing rounded friendliness with industrial precision. Its distinctive cuts and compact counters suggest an intention to create a memorable, logo-friendly display sans with a clear tech/sport character.
The design favors large, simplified shapes and reduced interior space, which boosts punch at display sizes but can make dense text feel dark and tightly packed. Signature details like squared bowls, clipped joins, and occasional incisions give the alphabet a recognizable, branded texture.
