A heavy, extended sans with a superelliptical construction: curves read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, and corners are consistently softened. Strokes are predominantly monoline with subtle optical shaping at joins, producing clean, blocky silhouettes and wide counters. Terminals are mostly flat and squared-off, while bowls and arcs keep a controlled, engineered roundness. The x-height appears high relative to capitals, and the overall spacing and proportions favor broad, stable forms that stay legible at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where its width and mass can create strong presence—such as brand marks, sports or automotive graphics, tech/UI hero text, and poster titles. It can also work for short subheads and packaging callouts where a compact, geometric voice is desired, but its weight and width make it less ideal for dense long-form text.
The tone is modern and high-impact, with a distinctly engineered, tech-facing feel. Its wide stance and rounded-rect geometry suggest machinery, interfaces, and performance branding rather than editorial neutrality. The overall impression is confident and forward-looking, with a sleek, slightly retro-futurist edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a powerful, contemporary display voice built from superelliptical shapes—combining the clarity of a sans with a distinctive, rounded-rect modularity. The consistent corner treatment and wide proportions emphasize impact and a polished, industrial modernity for branding-led applications.
Distinctive superellipse features show up in the rounded corners of letters like C, G, O, and the compact, squared counters in B, P, and R. The numerals share the same wide, sturdy construction, and the lowercase maintains a strong, uniform rhythm that supports bold headline setting.
