A heavy, expanded sans with a streamlined, slightly aerodynamic construction. Strokes are mostly monolinear with gently rounded corners and frequent wedge-like flares at terminals, creating a subtle forward-leaning energy without actual italics. Counters tend toward wide ovals and rectangles with softened edges; the “O” and “0” read as horizontally stretched capsules, while the “E/F/T” show broad crossbars and squared-off joins. Several glyphs use distinctive cut-ins and hooked terminals (notably in “J”, “S”, “y”, and “z”), and the lowercase includes single-storey forms such as “a” and “g”, reinforcing a display-oriented, engineered look.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a strong, wide silhouette is an advantage. It also fits sports/fitness, gaming, and tech-themed graphics, as well as UI titles or splash screens where a futuristic, high-impact voice is desired.
The overall tone feels modern and performance-driven, with a sci‑fi/tech flavor that suggests speed and machinery. Its wide stance and flared terminals project confidence and impact, making text feel loud, energetic, and slightly futuristic rather than neutral.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual presence with a contemporary, engineered character—combining geometric foundations with softened corners and flared terminals to evoke speed, technology, and bold display communication.
The design emphasizes horizontal breadth and open internal spaces, which helps maintain clarity at large sizes despite the heavy stroke weight. Distinctive numeral shapes (including a slashed-style “0” and wide, low-contrast figures) align with the same streamlined, industrial aesthetic seen in the letters.
