A heavy, squared sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with smooth corners and largely uniform stroke widths. Counters are wide and softly squared, and several glyphs feature small breaks or cut-ins that read as functional “slots,” giving an engineered, modular feel. Terminals are blunt and rounded rather than sharp, and the overall rhythm is spacious horizontally with compact vertical proportions. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, geometric structure, while the lowercase echoes the same boxy, softened construction for a cohesive texture in paragraphs.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short bursts of text where its rounded-square geometry and cut details can read clearly. It also fits tech or gaming UI accents, sports and automotive graphics, packaging, and signage where a sturdy, engineered voice is desired.
The font conveys a contemporary, tech-forward attitude with a subtle sci‑fi and motorsport flavor. Its softened corners keep it friendly, but the slot-like cut details add an industrial, fabricated tone reminiscent of interfaces, equipment markings, and product design.
The design appears intended to merge a robust geometric sans foundation with a distinctive superellipse “hardware” motif, using rounded corners and strategic cut-ins to create a futuristic, manufactured identity while remaining legible in bold display settings.
The distinctive interior cutouts and occasional baseline-like underbars in a few lowercase forms create a recognizable signature at display sizes. In longer text, the strong geometric repetition produces a steady, blocky color that feels deliberate and mechanical rather than neutral.
