A heavy, expanded sans with geometric construction and crisp, straight-sided curves. Many joins and terminals show sharp wedge-like tapering, creating a chiseled rhythm and a distinctly engineered finish. Round letters are broad and ovalized with compact counters, while verticals and diagonals maintain a firm, stable stance. The lowercase follows a straightforward, single‑storey model (notably for a and g), with sturdy stems, short extenders, and simplified forms that stay consistent at display sizes.
Best suited for large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, cover treatments, and branding where its width and strong silhouette can carry a layout. It can work well for logos, packaging, and sports/tech identity systems that benefit from a bold, engineered presence.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a slightly aggressive, athletic edge from the angular tapers and tight internal spaces. It reads as purposeful and headline-driven, leaning toward a tech-forward and performance-oriented feel rather than soft or friendly.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact through expanded proportions and sculpted terminals, balancing geometric clarity with distinctive detailing. Its construction suggests an intent to feel modern and technical while remaining legible and consistent in display settings.
The design’s wedge terminals and sharpened connections add texture without using traditional serifs, and they help differentiate shapes like V/W/X and the diagonals in K/M/N. Numerals appear similarly built for impact, with open curves and strong horizontal emphasis that matches the expanded width.
