A heavy, extended sans with a squared-off, superelliptical construction and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are monolinear in feel, with crisp horizontal terminals and broad, flat shoulders, producing a compact, machined silhouette. Counters tend to be rectangular and often partially closed into slots, giving several letters and numerals a cut-out, stencil-like presence. The overall rhythm is wide and steady, with tight apertures and minimal curvature beyond the softened corner radii.
Best suited to display typography where impact and a tech-forward impression are desired—headlines, posters, product marks, team or athletic branding, and gaming or interface-style graphics. It can work for short blocks of text in promotional settings, but the tight apertures and slot counters suggest keeping sizes comfortably large for maximum clarity.
The font projects a high-impact, engineered tone that reads as futuristic and performance-oriented. Its clipped openings and slot counters evoke instrumentation, sci‑fi interfaces, and motorsport graphics, lending an assertive, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to merge geometric rounded-rectangle forms with aggressive, streamlined cuts, creating a cohesive display face optimized for strong silhouette recognition. Its wide proportions and engineered internal openings suggest a focus on contemporary, tech and sport-adjacent applications rather than neutral body text.
Many glyphs incorporate internal bars or narrow horizontal openings (notably in E-like forms and some numerals), which increases visual cohesion but reduces interior whitespace. The design favors strong silhouettes and directional angles, so it maintains presence at display sizes and in short, punchy lines.
