A heavy, extended sans with smooth, rounded outer contours and crisp internal cuts. Curves are built from broad, elliptical bowls with flat or nearly flat terminals, while joins and corners often resolve into sharp wedges and notches that create a chiseled, engineered look. The letterforms show a strong horizontal emphasis: wide rounds (O, C, G) and roomy counters combine with compact apertures and squared-off cross-strokes, producing a tight, graphic texture. Several glyphs feature distinctive cut-ins and scooped details (notably in S, a, g, and numerals), adding a purposeful, machined rhythm across the set.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, and punchy brand statements where its wide stance and distinctive cut-in details can be appreciated. It can also work well for logotypes, sports or tech branding, and packaging where a bold, engineered presence is desired.
The overall tone reads modern and performance-oriented, with a confident, display-first attitude. Its mix of rounded geometry and sharp notches evokes industrial design cues—sleek, controlled, and slightly retro-futuristic—making it feel energetic rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through extended proportions and a tightly controlled geometric system, while differentiating itself with deliberate notches and scooped cuts that suggest speed, precision, and industrial refinement.
The lowercase includes a single-storey a and a stylized g with a pronounced horizontal scoop, reinforcing a custom, logo-like character. Numerals are similarly treated with flattened curves and cut terminals, keeping the set visually consistent and highly graphic at larger sizes.
