A heavy, extended sans built from squared-off, superellipse shapes with generously rounded corners. Strokes are predominantly straight with occasional diagonal cuts, creating crisp terminals and a slightly engineered feel. Counters tend to be rectangular or pill-shaped (notably in O/0 and B), and many lowercase forms lean toward single-storey, display-oriented construction with simplified joins. Horizontal elements are often emphasized—seen in the flat, underlined-like S/s and the broad, stable bases—while verticals remain sturdy and consistent, producing a compact, blocky rhythm at large sizes.
Best suited to display settings where its wide proportions and blocky geometry can be appreciated: headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and logotypes. It also fits interface and entertainment contexts—gaming, esports, sci‑fi themed UI, and tech-oriented branding—where a sturdy, futuristic sans is desirable.
The overall tone reads modern and mechanical, with a strong sci‑fi and arcade-display flavor. Its wide stance and squared curves suggest speed, hardware, and engineered precision, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a bold, attention-forward display sans. By combining softened corners with hard, squared structure and occasional diagonal cuts, it aims for a futuristic, engineered aesthetic optimized for impactful titling and branding.
Several glyphs feature distinctive cut-ins and open apertures (e.g., G) and a mix of squared bowls with angled strokes (e.g., K, R, X), giving the design a slightly modular, almost stencil-like character. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with a notably geometric 0 and a simplified, angular 4/7 that reinforce the technical voice.
