A heavy, extended sans with a geometric skeleton and strongly rounded outer corners paired with tight, squared counters. Curves are built from broad, flattened bowls (notably in C/O/Q) and many terminals resolve into horizontal or vertical cuts rather than tapered endings, creating a machined, modular feel. Stroke contrast shows up as noticeably thinned joins and narrowed interior apertures in letters like S, a, e, and g, while verticals and main strokes remain dominant. The overall rhythm is wide and steady, with compact apertures and a low-slung, rectangular punctuation/number style that reinforces the engineered look.
Best suited to large sizes where its wide proportions, tight counters, and contrasty joins can read as intentional detailing—headlines, identity work, packaging, and tech or sports-oriented graphics. In dense paragraphs or small UI text, the compact apertures and heavy mass may reduce clarity, but it performs well for short bursts of copy, signage-style statements, and display typography.
The font communicates speed, technology, and precision—confident and slightly aggressive without becoming decorative. Its rounded geometry and flattened curves evoke sci‑fi interfaces, motorsport graphics, and contemporary industrial branding.
The design appears intended as a contemporary display sans that merges rounded geometry with hard, engineered cuts to project a modern, high-performance character. Its consistent modular construction suggests it was drawn to look at home in tech, automotive, and action-forward brand systems.
Distinctive glyph cues include a squared, open-top lowercase a, a single-storey g with a flat baseline stroke, and numerals built from rounded rectangles with cut-in counters. The uppercase has a strong headline presence, while the lowercase maintains the same squared-round vocabulary for cohesive word shapes.
