A compact geometric sans with squared, superellipse-like bowls and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are heavy and even, with tight internal counters and a generally closed, modular construction. Curves are simplified into rounded rectangles, producing boxy C/G/O/Q forms and squared-off terminals. The lowercase follows the same rigid geometry, with sturdy vertical stems, short joins, and minimal stroke modulation, giving the alphabet a uniform, engineered rhythm.
Best suited to display typography where its compact, squared geometry can be a defining visual element—headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging. It also fits interface contexts such as gaming or tech-themed UI where strong, modular letterforms reinforce a digital or industrial aesthetic. It can work for short bursts of text, but the tight counters and dense color favor larger sizes and generous spacing.
The overall tone is technical and industrial, with a distinctly futuristic, game-like presence. Its dense shapes and tight apertures feel confident and utilitarian, projecting a no-nonsense, machine-made character. The rounded-corner squareness keeps it from feeling harsh, adding a controlled, modern friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, compact display voice built from rounded-rectangle geometry, prioritizing visual impact and a systematic, engineered feel. Its consistent corner radiusing and simplified curves suggest a deliberate attempt to balance hard-edged structure with approachable smoothness for modern, tech-forward branding and titles.
Capitals read especially strong due to wide, squared counters and flat horizontals, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) introduce sharp energy that contrasts with the rounded-rectangle curves. Numerals are similarly boxy and sturdy, designed for impact more than delicacy. At smaller sizes the tight apertures and compact counters may visually fill in, while at display sizes the distinctive geometry becomes a key feature.
