A geometric sans built from squared-off, superellipse-like bowls and rounded rectangles, with thick, even strokes and a firmly constructed silhouette. Corners are consistently softened, producing a “machined” smoothness rather than sharp angles, while counters stay compact and rectangular, reinforcing a modular feel. The design is wide-set with steady, monoline behavior and minimal contrast; terminals are blunt and horizontal/vertical decisions dominate over diagonals. Numerals and capitals share the same boxy geometry, and the lowercase echoes the uppercase structure with simplified, engineered forms.
Best suited for display typography where impact and a technical voice are desired—headlines, product branding, esports or sports graphics, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It also works well for UI labels and HUD-like treatments where squared, rounded-rectangle forms complement digital layouts.
The overall tone is contemporary and synthetic, evoking interfaces, hardware labeling, and sci‑fi or racing aesthetics. Its squared curves and heavy presence read confident and assertive, with an arcade-like, game UI energy that feels modern rather than retro-scripted.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, engineered sans with a cohesive superellipse geometry—prioritizing visual strength, clean modular construction, and a distinctly digital/industrial personality.
Tight interior counters and broad letter widths make the face feel dense and impactful, especially in all-caps. The rounded-rectangle construction creates strong repetition and rhythm, which can look striking at display sizes but may feel visually heavy in long paragraphs.
