A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with squarish curves and consistently softened corners. The strokes are thick and uniform, with compact interior counters and several deliberate cut-ins that read like ink traps or stencil breaks (notably in E, S, and some numerals). Round letters are built from superelliptical shapes, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) are sharply angled and geometric, creating a strong, engineered rhythm. Lowercase forms are sturdy and compact, with a high x-height feel and simple, blocky terminals; punctuation and numerals follow the same squared, modular logic.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, wordmarks, esports and sports identities, packaging callouts, and tech or gaming UI elements where strong silhouettes matter. It can work for large-format signage and posters, especially where a futuristic or industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and machine-made, evoking sci‑fi interfaces, racing graphics, and industrial labeling. Its tight apertures and muscular geometry project confidence and speed, with a slightly retro-digital flavor reminiscent of arcade and aerospace aesthetics.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive, modular system: rounded-rect construction for consistency, sharpened diagonals for energy, and intentional cut-ins to prevent heavy shapes from clogging while adding a signature detail.
The design relies on distinctive internal notches and narrow counters to maintain differentiation at heavy weight, which gives it a branded, display-forward personality. In longer text, the dense color and reduced internal whitespace make it feel compact and impactful rather than airy.
