A geometric sans built from squared, superelliptical shapes with generously rounded corners and a consistent, uniform stroke. The forms are notably extended, with wide proportions and open interior counters that read clearly at display sizes. Terminals tend to finish flat, and joins stay clean and engineered, giving letters a modular, constructed feel. Diagonals (as in K, V, W, X, Z) are sharply cut and contrast with the softer corner radii, while round characters like O and Q resolve as rounded rectangles rather than true circles. Numerals follow the same system, with compact, streamlined shapes and squared curves that keep rhythm consistent across the set.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short-to-medium blocks where its wide, geometric construction can be a feature rather than a constraint. It works well for tech branding, gaming and esports visuals, product/packaging typography, and UI or on-screen treatments that benefit from a clean, engineered silhouette. In dense paragraphs, the extended width can increase line length, so it’s most effective when given space and strong typographic hierarchy.
The overall tone is sleek and forward-leaning, with a distinctly technological and engineered character. Rounded-square geometry gives it a friendly edge compared to harsher sci‑fi faces, while the extended stance and crisp cuts keep it assertive and modern. It suggests speed, hardware, interfaces, and contemporary industrial design rather than editorial or traditional branding.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, systematized look built on rounded-rectangle geometry, balancing a friendly corner softness with crisp, mechanical cuts. Its extended proportions and simplified structures suggest an intention toward contemporary display use—especially in technology- and performance-adjacent contexts where a sleek, constructed voice is desired.
In text settings, the wide set and boxy curves create a strong horizontal flow, and the simplified, single-storey lowercase forms reinforce a contemporary, utilitarian voice. The design relies on repeated corner radii and straight segments, which helps maintain visual consistency across both uppercase and lowercase.
