A geometric sans with a distinctly boxy, superellipse-driven construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, and corners are frequently clipped or flattened. Strokes are heavy and mostly monoline, with small, sharp notches and angled terminals that create a slightly jagged rhythm. The letterforms lean subtly backward overall, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing an uneven but energetic texture. Counters tend to be tight and rectangular, and many joins and diagonals feel intentionally off-square, emphasizing a rough-cut, mechanical silhouette.
Best suited to display roles where its blocky geometry and backward-leaning stance can carry personality—posters, titles, brand marks, packaging, and entertainment or game-related UI. It can work for short callouts or labels in interface contexts when set large enough to keep the tight counters from filling in.
The overall tone is techno and arcade-like, with a gritty, improvised edge that suggests DIY signage or sci‑fi interface lettering. The backward slant and chiseled corners add a restless, slightly confrontational attitude, making the face feel more expressive than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a futuristic, industrial display voice built from rounded-rectangle primitives, with controlled irregularities that keep it feeling handmade rather than sterile. Its emphasis is on impact and character over continuous-text neutrality.
In text, the strong black mass and tight apertures create a dense color, while the irregular angles introduce a lively, staccato cadence. Distinctive, squared counters help maintain character recognition, but the busy terminals and compact interiors may call for generous sizing or spacing in longer passages.
