A heavy, monolinear sans with squarish construction built from rounded rectangles and softened corners. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls, and terminals are consistently blunt with generous corner radii, producing a sturdy, machined silhouette. Counters are compact and often rectangular, with tight apertures and short crossbars that emphasize blocky rhythm. The lowercase follows the same modular geometry, with single-storey forms and a compact, engineered feel, while figures echo the squared framework for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display applications where bold, geometric character is desired: logotypes, headline systems, posters, game titles, and interface elements that need a techno or arcade accent. It can also work for short labels and packaging callouts where a compact, industrial voice is helpful.
The overall tone is distinctly futuristic and gadget-like, evoking arcade interfaces, sci‑fi consoles, and industrial labeling. Its dense shapes and rounded-square geometry read confident and utilitarian, with a playful retro-tech edge rather than a friendly humanist warmth.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a readable alphabet, prioritizing a strong silhouette and a consistent modular system. It aims for a high-impact, technology-forward aesthetic that stays clean and systematic across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
At smaller sizes the tight internal spaces and closed apertures can visually fill in, while at display sizes the consistent corner rounding and rectangular counters become a defining signature. The uniform stroke treatment and squared curves create a strong horizontal cadence that suits short, impactful wording.
