A heavy, squared sans with softened corners and a compact footprint. The letterforms are built from chunky verticals and horizontals with frequent notch-like cut-ins and squared counters, giving many glyphs a modular, almost machined geometry. Curves are minimized and when present (C, G, O, S) they read as rounded-rect shapes rather than true ovals. Joins and terminals tend toward blunt, squared endings with occasional stepped or inset details, creating a slightly segmented rhythm across words while maintaining consistent stroke mass and clear silhouettes.
Best suited to display roles where impact and personality are desired—posters, headlines, packaging callouts, event graphics, and bold branding. It can also work for short UI labels or in-game/interface typography where a rugged, tech-industrial voice is appropriate, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels industrial and technical, with a retro-futuristic flavor reminiscent of equipment labeling, arcade-era graphics, and bold display titling. Its assertive weight and engineered shapes project toughness and speed, making the texture feel more utilitarian than friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a constructed, machine-cut aesthetic. By combining rounded-rectangle forms with inset notches and squared counters, it aims to feel both modern and retro, offering a distinctive display voice while staying firmly within a sans, geometric framework.
Uppercase and lowercase share a strong, blocky construction that keeps texture dense in lines of text; the numerals follow the same squared, cut-corner logic for a cohesive set. The distinctive notches and squared counters add character at large sizes but also introduce a busy internal rhythm that can dominate in long passages.
