A geometric sans built from squared, superellipse-like bowls and rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes are uniformly heavy with minimal contrast, and terminals are consistently softened, producing a smooth, machined silhouette. The design is strongly extended, with wide letterforms, generous horizontal spans, and compact apertures that keep text looking dense and blocky. Curves tend to resolve into flattened arcs rather than true circles, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y, Z) are crisp and stable. Figures follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with layered bar details visible in 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9 that reinforce the engineered feel.
Best suited to headlines, logotypes, and short display copy where its extended proportions and rounded-rect construction can be appreciated. It works well for tech and gaming identities, athletic or automotive graphics, UI hero text, and bold packaging where a sleek, engineered voice is desired. For longer reading, it benefits from larger sizes and ample tracking to maintain counter clarity.
The overall tone is modern and synthetic, evoking digital interfaces, motorsport branding, and sci‑fi display typography. Rounded corners temper the weight, so it reads as assertive but friendly rather than harsh. Its wide stance and tight internal spaces create a confident, forward-moving rhythm suited to attention-grabbing settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, techno display voice by combining heavy, uniform strokes with superellipse-based curves and a wide, low-friction silhouette. Its consistent rounding and simplified letter construction aim for a cohesive, system-like look that stays punchy across mixed case and numerals.
Distinctive superelliptic shaping is most evident in O/Q and in lowercase bowls, where counters resemble softened rectangles. The lowercase uses single-storey forms (notably a and g) and a simplified, functional construction that pairs well with the squared geometry. At smaller sizes, enclosed counters and narrow openings may visually fill in, so spacing and size choice will strongly affect clarity.
