A heavy, geometric sans with squared, rounded-corner construction and wide, blocky proportions. Strokes are largely monolinear with subtly softened corners and frequent cut-ins that read as ink-traps or stencil breaks, creating distinctive notches in joins and counters. Curves are handled as broad, rectangular arcs rather than true circles, giving letters like O/C/G a squarish, track-like silhouette. The overall rhythm is modular and engineered, with consistent weight and compact internal space that stays readable through generous apertures and simplified forms.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, branding marks, packaging callouts, and entertainment or gaming graphics. It can also work for UI accents, titles, and signage where a futuristic, engineered tone is desired, while extended body text may feel dense due to the heavy weight and tight counters.
The style feels futuristic and machine-made, evoking sci-fi interfaces, arcade hardware, and industrial labeling. Its chunky geometry and deliberate cut details add a rugged, technical attitude while keeping a playful, retro-digital flavor.
The design appears intended as a distinctive display sans that merges rounded-rectangle geometry with purposeful cut details to suggest technology and motion. The goal seems to be strong silhouette recognition at large sizes, with a cohesive, modular system that reads as contemporary sci-fi or retro arcade.
Numerals and lowercase follow the same squared-rounded logic, with single-storey a and g and a clear, structured 0. Several letters incorporate distinctive baseline or terminal extensions (notably in forms like J, Y, and some lowercase), which reinforces the custom, display-oriented personality and makes the texture more animated than a conventional grotesque.
