A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and squared-off curves throughout. Terminals are mostly blunt, with soft corner radii that keep the texture smooth rather than sharp. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and the design leans on horizontal cuts and straight segments to shape bowls and apertures. The overall rhythm is dense and stable, with a strong baseline presence and consistent, engineered spacing in display sizes.
Best suited for bold headlines, poster typography, and logo/wordmark work where weight and presence are essential. It also fits branding for technology, gaming, and sports-oriented visuals, plus UI or signage moments where a compact, rounded-tech voice is desired at larger sizes.
The tone is modern and synthetic, projecting a controlled, high-performance feel. Its softened corners temper the aggression of the mass, creating a sleek, industrial confidence that reads as contemporary and tech-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver a futuristic, display-forward sans that combines maximal impact with rounded, superelliptical geometry. Its squared counters and cut-in details suggest a goal of creating a distinctive, engineered texture that remains clean and legible in short bursts.
Several forms show distinctive horizontal “slicing” details and squared bowls (notably in characters like S, 2, 3, 5, and 9), which add a sporty, sci-fi flavor. The lowercase stays sturdy and geometric, with single-storey shapes and a utilitarian, modular consistency that favors impact over delicacy.
