A heavy, rounded-rectangular display sans with a modular, superellipse construction. Strokes are thick and blunt, with tightly radiused corners and frequent rectangular counters and cut-ins that create a subtle stencil-like, notched look. The overall color is dense and uniform, while internal apertures and slots introduce sharp, geometric contrast. Proportions skew wide with roomy horizontal spans and compact internal spaces, producing a strong, poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited to large-scale display work where its notches and tight counters can be appreciated—headlines, posters, title cards, product branding, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when set generously, but it is less ideal for long passages or small text where the dense interiors may reduce clarity.
The font reads as retro-futuristic and game-like, balancing friendliness from its soft corners with a muscular, industrial confidence. The notched details add a technical, engineered feel, evoking sci‑fi interfaces, arcade branding, and 1970s–1990s display lettering.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face built from rounded-rectangular modules, aiming for a distinctive, engineered personality. Its wide stance and carved interior shapes prioritize memorability and bold graphic presence over quiet neutrality.
Round letters tend to resolve into squared bowls and pill-shaped outlines, while diagonals and joins stay rigidly geometric. Numerals and capitals carry the same modular logic, giving headings a consistent, punchy rhythm. The distinctive cut-out details are most noticeable in letters with vertical stems and enclosed counters, which can become visually busy at small sizes.
