A heavy, extended sans with rounded-rectangle construction and strongly radiused corners throughout. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls and counters, while straight strokes end in soft, squared terminals that keep the texture compact and uniform. The proportions are wide with generous internal space, and the stroke weight stays consistent, producing a dense, billboard-ready color. Letterforms favor simplified, geometric joins—seen in the squared shoulders, flattened curves, and compact apertures—creating a crisp, engineered rhythm.
Best suited to short-form display typography where its wide proportions and strong, rounded-square shapes can dominate: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and product naming. It also fits interface titles, game/tech graphics, and sports or automotive-style branding where an engineered, modern voice is desired.
The overall tone is modern and machine-made, with a sci‑fi and performance-oriented edge. Its wide stance and rounded-square geometry feel confident and technical, suggesting speed, hardware, and contemporary digital interfaces rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to merge geometric clarity with softened corners, delivering a strong contemporary sans that reads as both technical and approachable. Its consistent stroke weight and superelliptical construction prioritize impact, coherence, and a distinctive, modern silhouette at larger sizes.
Round letters like O and Q read as softened rectangles, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) keep blunt, sturdy angles instead of sharp points. Numerals match the same rounded-rect logic, giving the set a consistent, display-focused personality.
