A geometric sans built from squared, rounded-rectangle shapes with tight, consistent curvature at corners. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal contrast and mostly vertical/horizontal construction; diagonals appear as crisp, faceted joins (notably in V, W, X, Y). Counters tend toward rectangular openings, and terminals are blunt, producing a compact, blocky texture. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with a mostly single-storey feel and squared bowls; numerals follow the same boxy, rounded logic, including a slashed zero.
Best suited to headlines, branding marks, packaging accents, and UI or in-game typography where strong silhouettes and a technical voice are desired. It can also work for short labeling and wayfinding when generous size and spacing are available, but it is less ideal for extended body text due to its dense forms.
The overall tone is utilitarian and high-impact, evoking digital interfaces, machinery labeling, and retro-futurist display typography. Its rigid geometry and squared rounding read as technical and engineered rather than friendly or handwritten.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-contrast presence through squared geometry and rounded corners, balancing machine-like precision with softened edges. It prioritizes immediate recognition and a modular, systematized rhythm for modern display and interface contexts.
Spacing and proportions create a steady, grid-like rhythm that stays legible at display sizes, while the dense letterforms and tight counters can feel heavy in long passages. The slashed zero and angular diagonals reinforce a functional, system-like character.
