A heavy, expanded sans with rounded-rect geometry and clean, engineered curves. Strokes are largely uniform and monolinear in feel, with a consistent inline cut that runs through the centers of stems and bowls, creating a layered, “machined” texture. Corners alternate between soft radii and crisp terminals, and many joins are simplified for a streamlined, modular rhythm. Counters are broad and open, and the overall spacing reads generous, prioritizing bold silhouette and graphic impact over fine detail.
Best suited for display work where its width and inline detailing can read clearly—headlines, logo marks, event and sports branding, posters, packaging, and tech or entertainment graphics. It performs particularly well at larger sizes and in short phrases where the carved interior lines add dimensional character without becoming busy.
The inline carving and wide stance give the face a futuristic, tech-forward tone with a strong retro-sci-fi undertow. It feels fast and mechanical—evoking dashboards, motorsport graphics, and arcade-era display typography—while remaining clean enough to read as contemporary branding. The repeated internal linework adds a sense of motion and depth, like beveled or engraved lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-impact display voice that feels engineered and dimensional, using an internal inline cut to suggest engraving or layered construction. Its wide proportions and simplified geometry emphasize presence and immediacy, aiming for strong recognition in branding and poster contexts.
Letterforms show a consistent preference for rounded bowls and flattened curves, producing a squared-off, aerodynamic look. Diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y/Z) are sharp and assertive, contrasting with the softer curves elsewhere, which increases energy in all-caps settings. Numerals match the same expanded proportions and inline treatment, keeping the set visually cohesive in headlines and scoreboard-style layouts.
