A heavy, extended sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Curves resolve into squared, superelliptical bowls (notably in C, O, and D), while horizontals and diagonals stay straight and sturdy, producing a compact, engineered rhythm. Counters are relatively small for the weight, apertures are controlled, and joins are clean with minimal modulation. The lowercase follows the same boxy-round logic with a single-storey a and g, and the numerals echo the wide, streamlined geometry with rounded edges and horizontal emphasis.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where its wide proportions and dense strokes can project clearly—such as headlines, branding marks, posters, product titles, and energetic campaign graphics. It also fits UI or on-screen titles when a bold, tech-forward voice is desired, especially in short strings.
The font reads as modern and machine-made, with a sleek, sci‑fi flavor driven by its wide stance and rounded-rectilinear curves. Its tone is assertive and performance-oriented, suggesting speed, hardware, and contemporary digital interfaces while retaining a slightly retro-futuristic feel.
The design appears aimed at delivering a strong, contemporary display voice built from superelliptical geometry—combining the friendliness of rounded corners with the authority of a broad, engineered structure. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and uniform, system-like consistency across letters and figures.
Many letters feature intentional, subtle corner rounding that prevents the bold weight from feeling harsh, and several forms (like S and 2/3) emphasize horizontal sweeps that enhance the streamlined look. The overall texture is dense and attention-grabbing, favoring impact over delicate detail at small sizes.
