A heavy, extended sans with a squared‑round (superelliptic) construction throughout. Strokes are monolinear with broad, blunt terminals and consistently rounded outer corners, giving counters a rounded‑rectangle feel (notably in O, D, P, and 0). The design favors horizontal emphasis: wide bowls, broad shoulders, and angular joins with occasional chamfered diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y, Z). Several glyphs incorporate characteristic horizontal slot cuts/ink traps—most visible in S, E, 2, 3, 5, 9, and parts of lowercase—adding a technical, stencil-like rhythm while keeping overall shapes compact and solid.
Best suited to display sizes where its wide stance and engineered details can read clearly—headlines, identity marks, packaging, and poster typography. It also fits digital interfaces that want a strong techno voice (game titles, esports branding, dashboards), especially in short phrases, labels, and large UI headings.
The tone is assertive and high-impact, with a distinctly modern, sci‑fi/industrial flavor. Its rounded-square geometry reads engineered and streamlined, while the internal cuts add a sense of motion and machined precision that feels at home in performance and technology contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, contemporary voice built from rounded-rect geometry, balancing friendliness (softened corners) with a hard-edged, industrial attitude. The recurring horizontal slot cuts function as a stylistic signature to differentiate the letterforms and create a cohesive, tech-forward texture in branding and display use.
Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with single-storey a and g and minimal modulation, prioritizing bold silhouette over delicate detail. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect framework, with 0 as a squared oval and several figures featuring inset horizontal breaks that reinforce the font’s signature texture. Spacing in the samples suggests the face is designed to hold together in tight settings while maintaining strong word shapes.
