A compact geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with consistently thick, monoline strokes and softly radiused corners. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters, giving letters like O, C, and D a boxy roundness rather than circularity. Joins are clean and mostly orthogonal, terminals are blunt, and apertures tend to be narrow, producing a dense, sturdy texture. The lowercase follows the same modular construction, with simplified shapes and a restrained, uniform rhythm across letters and numerals.
This design is best suited to display settings where its compact, squared curves and heavy presence can carry the message—headlines, poster typography, logo wordmarks, packaging titles, and attention-grabbing signage. It also fits UI theming for games or tech branding where a retro-futurist, mechanical tone is desirable, while longer paragraphs may feel dense due to the tight apertures and compact letterforms.
The overall tone feels technical and engineered, with a distinctly retro-digital flavor reminiscent of display lettering used in sci‑fi interfaces, arcade-era graphics, and industrial labeling. Its squarish curvature reads confident and utilitarian, leaning more mechanical than friendly while still avoiding sharp severity thanks to the rounded corners.
The letterforms appear intentionally constructed from a consistent rounded-rect geometry to create a strong, modular silhouette and a cohesive, tech-oriented aesthetic. The design prioritizes impact, uniformity, and a distinctive squared-round identity over delicate detailing or wide open readability.
Counters are generally rectangular and vertically oriented, which reinforces the font’s grid-like logic and makes it especially punchy at larger sizes. The numerals adopt the same squared geometry, and the punctuation shown matches the blunt, no-nonsense terminal style for a consistent voice.
