This typeface is a heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls paired with sharply chamfered cuts. Corners and terminals frequently end in triangular or diagonal notches, creating a quasi-stencil, mechanically carved feel while keeping overall forms compact and blocky. Curves are broad and regular, counters tend to be squarish, and the rhythm is driven by consistent stroke thickness and firm verticals. The figures and caps read especially solid and monolithic, with occasional inset corners and clipped joins that emphasize the font’s constructed geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, album art, and packaging where the angular cut-ins can read as a deliberate motif. It also fits game/UI titling and tech-oriented graphics that benefit from an engineered, futuristic voice. For long passages, it works more as a stylistic accent than as a primary text face.
The overall tone feels techno and industrial, with a retro-futurist edge reminiscent of arcade, sci‑fi, or engineered signage. The sharp cut-ins add urgency and attitude, while the rounded-square structure keeps it clean and controlled rather than chaotic. It projects strength, machinery, and a designed-for-display confidence.
The design appears intended to merge rounded-square geometric construction with aggressive chamfered detailing, producing a distinctive display sans that feels machined and contemporary. Its consistent stroke weight and repeated cut motifs suggest a focus on strong silhouette and immediate recognition in large sizes.
In text, the repeated chamfers create a distinctive texture and a slightly segmented silhouette, which boosts personality but can reduce smoothness at smaller sizes. Round letters like O/Q and bowls in B/D/P show the most pronounced superellipse structure, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) lean on straight facets and clipped joins to maintain the same constructed language. Numerals are similarly blocky and geometric, matching the caps for cohesive headline use.
