A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and squared counters. Strokes are uniform and strongly vertical, with corners consistently softened into small radii that keep the geometry crisp rather than friendly. The uppercase set reads condensed and rigid, while lowercase forms keep a similar boxy skeleton with simple, almost modular joins and minimal curvature. Figures follow the same squared, superelliptical logic, producing dense, high-contrast silhouettes against white space.
Best suited to short display copy where a dense, assertive texture is desirable—posters, titles, branding marks, packaging callouts, and signage. It can also work for UI labels or scoreboard-style graphics when the goal is a compact, high-impact word shape rather than long-form readability.
The overall tone is mechanical and game-like, evoking industrial labeling, retro arcade interfaces, and utilitarian display typography. Its tight proportions and squared rounding feel controlled and engineered, giving text a decisive, no-nonsense presence.
The font appears designed to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a strong display voice, prioritizing consistency of corners, counters, and vertical rhythm. Its forms suggest an intent to feel modern-industrial and retro-digital at the same time, delivering sturdy legibility through simplified, modular construction.
The design leans on straight segments and right-angle turns, with rounded terminals used as a unifying motif. Counters tend to be rectangular and relatively small, reinforcing a compact, punchy texture that holds up best when given room at display sizes.
