A heavy, extended sans with a squared-round (superelliptical) construction and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are monolinear and sturdy, with broad horizontals and verticals that create a compact, engineered texture. Counters tend toward rounded-rectangular shapes (notably in O, 0, and the bowls), while diagonals are crisp and planar, giving letters like A, K, V, W, X, Y a sharp, mechanical bite. Terminals are mostly straight-cut, and the lowercase shows a large x-height with simplified, open forms that keep silhouettes bold and legible at display sizes.
Best suited for display applications where impact and a modern, technical character are desired—headlines, large-format posters, branding marks, and sports or automotive-inspired graphics. It can also work for UI titles and interface labeling where a squared-round, high-presence aesthetic fits, though its width suggests more restrained use in long text blocks.
The overall tone reads modern and technical, with a distinctly futuristic, industrial flavor. Its wide stance and squared-round geometry suggest speed, machinery, and digital interfaces—assertive and controlled rather than playful or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a strong, contemporary wordmark style, balancing softened corners with hard-edged structure. It prioritizes a consistent superelliptical system across letters and numerals to deliver a cohesive, tech-forward voice at larger sizes.
The rhythm is dominated by wide letterforms and generous interior spaces in rounded-rect counters, producing a strong billboard-like presence. Numerals match the same superelliptical logic, with 2 and 3 featuring flattened curves and the 0 rendered as a rounded rectangle, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered system.
