A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms, with flattened curves and frequent chamfered corners that give counters a squarish, octagonal feel. Strokes are heavy and consistently applied, with softened terminals and occasional notched joins that emphasize a constructed, modular look. The proportions are broad and low-contrast, and the apertures/counters stay open enough to keep the shapes readable in display settings while maintaining a tightly engineered rhythm.
Best suited for impactful headlines, branding, and short-form messaging where its wide, faceted geometry can set a strong voice. It also fits interface titles, game/tech UI labels, event graphics, and packaging for electronics or sports-adjacent products, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the corner details remain clear.
The overall tone feels futuristic and machine-made, leaning into sci‑fi UI, motorsport, and arcade aesthetics. Its rounded-square geometry reads friendly at the edges but still decidedly technical, suggesting speed, equipment, and engineered products rather than editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to translate round forms into rounded-rectangular geometry, creating a cohesive techno display sans that feels engineered and contemporary. By prioritizing broad silhouettes, softened corners, and modular construction cues, it aims to deliver a distinctive, futuristic identity with consistent shapes across the set.
Digit forms echo the same rounded-corner geometry; the “0” is a rounded rectangle with a similarly shaped counter, and several characters show deliberate corner cuts that create a faceted, techno texture. Curved letters tend to resolve into straight segments with softened corners, reinforcing a consistent superelliptical theme across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
