A heavy, geometric sans built from squared, superelliptical forms with generously rounded corners and consistent stroke thickness. Counters are often rectangular and inset, creating a cut-in, almost stencil-like internal structure (notably in letters like O, D, P, R, and the numerals). Terminals are predominantly straight and flat, with rounded joins and broad horizontal emphasis that gives the face a stable, engineered feel. The lowercase follows the same modular logic, with single-storey a and g, compact bowls, and simplified curves that stay close to the rounded-rectangle skeleton.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as game titles, esports branding, tech-oriented logos, posters, and product or interface labeling. It can work for larger blocks of display text when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing, where its strong rhythm and enclosed counters have room to breathe.
The overall tone is sleek and synthetic, evoking retro-futurism and screen-based interfaces. Its blocky geometry and inset counters suggest machinery, gaming hardware, and sci-fi UI, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than harsh. The result feels assertive, modern, and distinctly “designed” rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a bold display voice, prioritizing a cohesive modular system and a futuristic, engineered personality. The inset counter motif and softened corners suggest a deliberate balance between rugged techno styling and clean, contemporary readability at display sizes.
The inset counter treatment creates distinctive interior gaps that read like slots or tracks, which adds character but can reduce openness in dense text. Curved letters are deliberately squarish, and diagonals are used sparingly, reinforcing a modular rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
