A heavy, extended sans with rounded-rectangle construction and smooth, even stroke weight. Curves are broad and flattened, and many bowls and counters read as soft squares rather than pure circles, giving the design a sturdy, engineered feel. Terminals are clean and mostly horizontal/vertical, with minimal contrast and a compact inner spacing that keeps forms dense at display sizes. The overall rhythm is wide and stable, with consistent corner radii and a slightly modular, geometric build across letters and figures.
Best suited to display applications where impact and width are assets: headlines, posters, sports or tech branding, and product or packaging titling. It also works well for UI-style labels, wayfinding, and short signage where the sturdy, rounded-square shapes remain clear at larger sizes.
The tone is modern and assertive, leaning toward a sci‑fi/tech aesthetic with a sporty, high-impact presence. Its wide stance and squared rounding feel confident and utilitarian, suggesting dashboards, equipment labeling, and contemporary branding rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, engineered look by combining an extended stance with rounded-square geometry and uniform stroke weight. It prioritizes bold presence and a consistent, modular feel for contemporary display typography.
Uppercase forms are particularly blocky and architectural, while lowercase maintains the same rounded-rect geometry for a cohesive texture in longer settings. Numerals follow the same extended, squared-curved logic, reading bold and sign-like. The tight apertures in letters such as S, a, and e can create a compact, dense color in paragraphs, favoring larger sizes and shorter text.
