A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and a squared, superellipse construction. Strokes stay consistently thick, with rounded corners and rectangular counters that give letters a machined, modular feel. Curves are simplified into softened rectangles, producing boxy ovals in forms like O, C, and G, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y, Z) are crisp and clean. Several glyphs show deliberate cut-ins or segmented joins—especially in S and some lowercase forms—reinforcing a constructed, engineered rhythm.
Best suited to display applications where its strong geometry and broad stance can carry visual identity—headlines, logos, product marks, packaging, and tech or gaming interface accents. It can also work for short passages such as taglines or callouts when a distinctly synthetic, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone reads futuristic and technical, with an industrial, game-UI energy. Its rounded-square geometry feels modern and synthetic rather than humanist, suggesting hardware interfaces, sci‑fi branding, and engineered products.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary, tech-forward sans built from rounded-rectangle forms, optimized for bold presence and a unified modular aesthetic. The segmented details add a subtle sci‑fi/industrial cue without relying on decoration.
The design favors strong silhouettes and open apertures over subtle detail, which keeps shapes recognizable at display sizes. The squared counters and consistent rounding create a cohesive system across letters and numerals, giving text a compact, modular texture.
