A heavy, geometric sans with rounded corners and squared-off curves that give many forms a soft-rectangular silhouette. Strokes are generally thick with modest, noticeable modulation and frequent notch-like cuts at joins that read like ink traps or small stencil breaks. Counters are compact and often rectangular, with open apertures on letters like C, S, and e. The design favors simplified, constructed shapes with occasional curved terminals, producing a slightly mechanical rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display roles where its distinctive geometry and notched detailing can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for short UI labels or tech-themed titling, but its dense counters and strong personality make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone feels futuristic and tech-forward with a distinct retro flavor, like sci‑fi signage or arcade-era display lettering. Its chunky massing and softened corners keep it friendly and playful rather than severe, while the engineered notches add a purposeful, industrial edge.
The design appears intended as a modern display sans that blends rounded-rectangle construction with subtle contrast and cut-in joins to create a branded, futuristic voice. It prioritizes impact, recognizability, and a consistent modular feel across characters.
The alphabet shows a strong constructed logic—many glyphs share similar radiused-rectangle geometry, which creates high visual consistency in headlines. Some joins and inner corners are deliberately carved, boosting separation in dense settings and adding a signature texture at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same squared-round construction, reading clearly and emphatically in short strings.
