A boxy, geometric sans with extended proportions and a strongly modular construction. Strokes are heavy with rounded terminals and corners, creating a soft-rectangular silhouette throughout. Many letters use squared counters and notched joins, with occasional tapered or thinned connections that add a crisp, engineered contrast within otherwise solid forms. Curves are minimized in favor of straight segments and right-angle turns, and the overall rhythm is wide-set with clear, open interior spaces for a display-forward look.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where its wide, geometric forms can breathe. It works well for technology and gaming contexts—interfaces, packaging, and signage-style labeling—where a constructed, futuristic voice is desired. In longer paragraphs it reads as distinctly stylized, so it’s most effective as a display face paired with a simpler text companion.
The font conveys a futuristic, machine-made tone with a playful arcade edge. Its rounded-square geometry feels technological and constructed, like labeling on devices or sci‑fi interfaces, while the chunky weight keeps it bold and approachable rather than clinical.
The design appears intended to deliver a cohesive sci‑fi/tech display aesthetic built from modular, rounded-rectangle parts. By balancing chunky strokes with occasional sharpened joins and squared counters, it aims to stay legible while emphasizing an engineered, futuristic personality.
Distinctive features include squared bowls (e.g., O/Q-like forms), angular diagonals on letters such as N and V, and a generally consistent corner radius that unifies the set. The lowercase maintains the same modular logic as the uppercase, and numerals follow the same wide, squared styling, supporting cohesive use in alphanumeric settings.
