A compact, heavy sans with a rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, with counters kept small and often squared or pill-shaped, producing a high-contrast figure/ground at text sizes. Curves resolve into superelliptic bowls rather than true circles, and terminals are clean and blunt, giving letters a machined, modular feel. Overall spacing and sidebearings read tight, emphasizing a tall, condensed rhythm across both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, brand marks, packaging titles, and poster typography where bold shapes and compact width help maximize impact. It also fits interface-style treatments—game UI, tech/event graphics, and signage—where a modular, futuristic texture is desired.
The tone is assertive and synthetic, evoking display typography from arcade cabinets, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its chunky geometry and rounded squareness feel both retro and technical, with a controlled, engineered personality rather than a friendly or handwritten one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint while maintaining a consistent rounded-rect geometry. It prioritizes silhouette clarity and a stylized, systematized look over open counters and extended readability in long passages.
Distinctive squared bowls and narrow apertures make the design most comfortable at larger sizes, where the internal shapes stay readable and the strong silhouette can do the work. The numerals and capitals share the same rounded-rect logic, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like texture in headlines and short blocks.
