A heavy, extended sans with a squared, superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, and terminals end in clean, flat cuts. Strokes are broadly uniform, with generous rounding at outer corners and tighter, compact interior apertures that produce a dense, high-impact texture. The uppercase is wide and stable, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey feel with the same rounded-rectangle logic; overall spacing looks engineered for solid word shapes rather than airy openness. Figures follow the same geometry, with boxy 0/8 forms and straight-sided 1/7 shapes that maintain the typeface’s rigid, technical rhythm.
Best suited to display work where its wide stance and squared-round geometry can read clearly—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, product marks, and UI titles for tech or gaming contexts. It can work for short blocks of text in larger sizes, but the compact apertures and dense color suggest using careful tracking and generous leading for longer passages.
The overall tone feels modern and engineered, combining a soft-cornered geometry with a forceful, mechanical presence. It evokes sci‑fi interface typography, motorsport and athletic branding, and contemporary gaming aesthetics—confident, functional, and slightly retro-futurist.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a robust, contemporary voice built from superelliptical shapes—prioritizing impact, consistency, and a distinctly technological silhouette. The wide proportions and rounded-square counters suggest an intention to feel both friendly at the corners and uncompromising in structure.
The design’s signature comes from the repeated rounded-rectangle motif, which creates strong consistency across curves, diagonals, and joins. Tight counters and broad horizontals can make dense text blocks feel dark, but they also help short phrases and headlines look punchy and cohesive.
