A heavy, extended sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like curves. Corners are consistently softened, while straight strokes stay crisp, giving the letters a “squared-round” silhouette. Counters tend to be rectangular with rounded corners (notably in O, D, P, and 0), and terminals are generally flat, producing a compact, engineered texture. The rhythm is wide and steady, with generous internal space in round glyphs and simple, geometric construction across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display work where its wide stance and rounded-rect geometry can define the visual identity—headlines, logos/wordmarks, brand systems, posters, and packaging. It also fits UI or product labeling when a sturdy, tech-forward voice is needed, especially in short phrases or all-caps typography.
The overall tone feels modern and machine-made—clean, assertive, and slightly sci‑fi. Its broadened proportions and rounded corners evoke contemporary tech branding and performance aesthetics rather than editorial warmth. The look is confident and utilitarian, with a sleek, streamlined presence.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, engineered feel by combining geometric construction with softened corners. Its proportions and simplified forms prioritize impact and a strong, recognizable silhouette for modern brand and display applications.
The design leans on consistent corner radii and rectangular counters, which keeps the texture uniform in all-caps settings. Diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are sharp and energetic against the otherwise rounded geometry, adding a sporty edge. Numerals mirror the letterforms with boxy bowls and open, simplified shapes that read well at display sizes.
