A heavy, block-built sans with a modular, rectilinear construction softened by rounded exterior corners. Forms are wide and compact, with generous weight and squared, inset counters that read like punched windows. Stroke joins favor right angles and short radiused turns, while select letters introduce notch cuts and split terminals that create a slightly stencil-like rhythm. Numerals and capitals share a consistent, engineered geometry, giving the set a uniform, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines, titles, logos, and branding that want a strong tech or industrial signal. It also fits posters, product packaging, and game or interface graphics where chunky, high-impact letterforms are desirable. For longer copy, it works more comfortably in short phrases or callouts where its cut details remain crisp.
The overall tone is futuristic and machine-made, evoking arcade graphics, industrial labeling, and sci‑fi interfaces. Its bold presence feels assertive and technical, with a playful edge coming from the rounded corners and cut-in details.
The design intent reads as a high-impact display face built around modular geometry and controlled cut-ins to suggest machinery, fabrication, and digital hardware. The combination of wide proportions, rounded corners, and squared counters aims to balance toughness with a contemporary, stylized friendliness.
Spacing appears tight and the internal counters are relatively small, which increases the inked density and strengthens silhouette recognition at display sizes. The distinctive notches and segmented strokes add character but can become the dominant feature in longer passages, encouraging use in short bursts or large settings.
