A heavy, forward-leaning sans with a compact, engineered skeleton built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms. Strokes stay consistently thick with softened corners and frequent chamfered cuts, producing faceted terminals and tight, controlled apertures. The proportions skew wide and low in the caps while the lowercase maintains a large x-height, giving a dense, high-impact texture in lines of text. Counters tend to be squarish and inset, and many joins are smoothed into angular curves that keep the rhythm fast and uniform.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its mass and slant can communicate energy—such as headlines, display copy, posters, and logo wordmarks. It also fits branding for tech, automotive, sports, and gaming contexts, and can work for punchy subheads when ample tracking and leading are available.
The overall tone feels kinetic and synthetic, with a confident, performance-oriented voice. Its slanted stance and beveled details suggest speed, machinery, and contemporary tech aesthetics rather than warmth or tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-speed display look that remains highly consistent across glyphs through a superelliptical construction. Its beveled cuts and tight counters prioritize a strong silhouette and an industrial, futuristic character in large sizes.
Numerals and many letters emphasize enclosed, inset counters and cut-in notches that read like engineered apertures. The design’s combination of rounded outer corners with sharper interior cuts creates a distinctive “armored” feel that stays consistent across upper, lower, and figures.
