A heavy, extended sans with a squared, superelliptical skeleton: rounds resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and counters rather than true circles. Strokes stay visually even, with smooth corner radii and crisp terminals that often finish flat, giving the forms a machined, modular feel. Curves are taut and rectangularized (notably in C/G/O/Q and the numerals), while diagonals in A/K/V/W/X/Y remain clean and sturdy. Spacing reads generous and stable in display sizes, with wide set widths and consistent, low-contrast rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where the wide stance and rounded-square forms can read clearly—brand marks, headlines, product packaging, wayfinding, UI hero text, and promotional graphics. In dense paragraphs it can feel imposing due to its width and weight, but it excels when used to signal a modern, technical identity.
The overall tone is contemporary and engineered—suggesting technology, transportation, and performance branding. Its rounded-square geometry softens the mass while keeping a confident, utilitarian presence, balancing friendly corners with a decidedly synthetic, forward-looking voice.
The design appears intended to translate a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle motif into a robust display sans: highly legible at large sizes, visually consistent across glyphs, and optimized for a sleek, engineered aesthetic.
Distinctive features include rounded-rectangle counters, a squared-off ‘S’ and ‘2/3’ with horizontal emphasis, and a ‘Q’ with a clean, integrated tail that reinforces the technical look. Lowercase maintains the same boxy curvature and sturdy joins, producing a cohesive, system-like texture in longer lines.
