A heavy, extended sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) bowls and softly radiused corners throughout. Strokes are predominantly straight and orthogonal, with occasional sharp diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, Y, and Z, creating a crisp geometric rhythm. Counters tend to be compact and squarish (notably in O/0 and P/R), and terminals are mostly flat-cut, reinforcing a machined, structured feel. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with a single-storey a and g, a short-armed t, and a squared, enclosed-looking o; figures are similarly boxy, with a rectangular 0 and segmented, horizontal emphasis in 2 and 3.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and short bursts of text where its squared-round geometry and strong presence can read clearly. It fits technology and gaming interfaces, sports and automotive-style branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from an engineered, contemporary voice. It can also work for signage or labels when set with generous spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is modern and mechanical, reading as confident and performance-oriented. The rounded corners soften the engineering-like geometry, yielding a friendly-tech impression rather than a purely harsh or brutalist one. In heavier sizes it feels bold and attention-grabbing, with a display-forward presence.
The font appears designed to translate a rounded-rectangle, industrial geometry into a readable sans with high impact. Its extended stance and consistent radiusing suggest an intention to feel contemporary and technical while staying approachable through softened corners.
The design maintains consistent corner radii and a coherent rounded-rect motif across letters and numerals, which helps it look unified in all-caps settings. The extended proportions and tight internal spaces make it especially punchy in headlines, while smaller sizes may feel dense due to compact counters and strong stroke mass.
