A heavy, extended sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction that keeps curves broad and corners consistently softened. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness, producing a clean, engineered rhythm, while many letters use squared terminals and flattened bowls for a streamlined profile. Counters tend to be compact and apertures are often narrowed, giving the face a dense, high-impact texture in words. The lowercase shows a tall, dominant x-height with simple, sturdy forms and minimal modulation across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to large-size applications where its wide, compact forms can project impact: headlines, poster typography, tech or sports branding, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short UI labels in gaming or product interfaces when a bold, futuristic voice is desired, but the tight apertures make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone feels modern and machine-made, with a sleek, sci‑fi edge and an assertive presence. Its widened stance and tight openings read as purposeful and performance-oriented, suggesting speed, hardware, and engineered design rather than warmth or tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-performance look using superelliptic geometry and consistent stroke weight for strong reproducibility. Its extended proportions and compact internal spaces prioritize presence and a cohesive, industrial visual system over delicate detail.
Round letters such as O/Q and numerals like 0/8/9 emphasize horizontally stretched ovals with superelliptic geometry, and the Q uses a distinct, integrated tail detail. Diagonals (V/W/X/Y/Z) are sharp and stable against the otherwise rounded system, reinforcing a crisp, technical silhouette. The dot on i/j is a simple round element that contrasts with the mostly squared-round construction.
