A heavy, modular sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry and superellipse-like curves. Strokes are largely monolinear with sharply cut interior counters, producing narrow vertical apertures and slit-like openings in letters such as O, D, and B. Corners are broadly radiused on the outside while internal joins and notches are crisp, giving a punchy stenciled/ink-trap-like rhythm. The overall texture is dense and dark, with compact counters and a slightly mechanical, constructed cadence across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where impact and a distinctive silhouette are priorities. It also fits wayfinding or signage-style applications, especially when set large with generous tracking. For extended text, it will perform better in short bursts (titles, labels, UI headings) than in small sizes due to the compact counters.
The font conveys a retro-industrial and techno tone—bold, assertive, and deliberately engineered. Its squared curves and carved-in negative spaces suggest signage, machinery, and display lettering from late-20th-century sci-fi and arcade-era graphics. The mood is confident and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or conversational.
The design appears intended as a geometric display sans that maximizes presence through rounded-rectangular forms and carved counters, balancing friendliness from softened corners with a tough, industrial structure. The consistent modular construction suggests an aim for strong branding recognition and high-contrast shapes in headline settings.
Lowercase forms closely echo the uppercase construction, reinforcing a uniform, display-first voice. Numerals and rounded forms maintain the same rounded-outer/rectilinear-inner logic, creating a consistent set that reads as cohesive blocks at distance. Tight internal apertures and dense weight mean spacing and size will strongly influence legibility in longer passages.
