A squared, rounded-corner sans with extended proportions and a firm, engineered construction. Strokes show clear thick–thin contrast, most visible where curved joins transition into straighter segments, giving counters and bowls a crisp, machined feel. Curves are largely built from flattened arcs and softened corners, producing rectangular ovals in O/0 and a squarish rhythm across C/G/S. Terminals are predominantly blunt and horizontal, with occasional tapered diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X, and Y that add energy without breaking the overall modular geometry.
Best suited to display settings where width and geometry can be a feature: headlines, logotypes, poster typography, product/tech packaging, and bold wayfinding or environmental graphics. It also works well for short UI or dashboard labels when a distinctive, futuristic voice is desired and space allows for the extended letterforms.
The design reads as contemporary and technical, with a distinctly futuristic, interface-like tone. Its broad stance and squared curves evoke industrial signage and sci‑fi branding, while the controlled contrast adds a refined, deliberate edge rather than a purely utilitarian look.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, techno-forward identity built from rounded-rectangular geometry, pairing a wide stance with controlled contrast to create strong silhouettes and a clean, engineered texture.
Uppercase forms are particularly assertive, with compact, boxy counters and strong horizontal emphasis. Numerals follow the same squared logic (notably 2, 3, 5, and 9), supporting a cohesive display system; the lowercase keeps simple, single-storey forms and maintains the same rounded-rectangle motif for a consistent texture in text.
