A heavy, geometric sans built from squarish, superellipse-like shapes with generously rounded corners. Strokes are largely monolinear, with crisp horizontal and vertical terminals and minimal modulation. Counters are compact and often rectangular, giving letters like O, D, P, and R a cut-out, stencil-like solidity. The lowercase is built on a tall x-height with sturdy stems and simplified joins, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, K) are broad and blunt, reinforcing the blocky rhythm. Overall spacing reads even and stable, producing a dense, headline-friendly texture.
Best suited for display typography where impact and silhouette matter: headlines, posters, packaging, branding, and large-format signage. It also fits UI titles and game/tech themed graphics where a rounded-rectangular, digital tone is desirable.
The font projects a modern, machine-made confidence with a distinctly tech-forward feel. Its rounded-rectangle geometry and tight counters evoke digital interfaces, sci‑fi signage, and retro arcade branding, balancing friendliness from the soft corners with a commanding, industrial weight.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver maximum punch and legibility through simplified geometry, rounded corners, and compact counters, creating a cohesive, modular system that reads as contemporary and technology-oriented.
The design leans on squared bowls and inset counters, which can reduce internal white space at smaller sizes but creates a strong silhouette at display scales. Numerals match the same squared, rounded-corner logic and feel built for bold, graphic composition.
