A heavy, extended sans with squarish, superellipse-style curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are monolinear and sturdy, with broad horizontal proportions and generous internal counters that keep forms open even at bold sizes. Terminals are clean and mostly horizontal/vertical, giving letters a machined, modular feel; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y, Z) are straight and crisp, while bowls (B, D, O, P, Q) read as rounded rectangles. The lowercase is compact and utilitarian, with a single-storey “a” and simplified curves that maintain the same squared-round geometry across the set; figures follow the same wide, blocky construction for strong continuity in display settings.
Best suited to headlines, logos, short slogans, and bold branding systems where a wide, powerful voice is desired. It also fits product packaging, esports/sports identities, and tech-themed graphics where rounded-rectilinear letterforms reinforce a contemporary, engineered aesthetic.
The overall tone is modern and engineered, with a confident, high-impact presence. Its rounded-rectangle geometry evokes contemporary technology, motorsport, and sci‑fi interfaces—friendly at the corners but decidedly forceful in silhouette.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a clean, geometric voice: wide proportions, squared-round curves, and sturdy monoline strokes that reproduce reliably in large display applications and bold graphic environments.
The design favors straight-sided forms and large flat areas, creating a strong rhythm and clear word shapes at headline sizes. The extended width and deep weight produce a prominent texture that can dominate a layout, especially in dense paragraphs, while staying legible due to open apertures and counters.
