A heavy, wide sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction that alternates between straight runs and softened corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and counters tend to be compact, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Curved letters such as C, G, O, S, and U read as squared-off bowls with broad horizontal terminals, while verticals are sturdy and uniform. The lowercase keeps a clean, built-from-parts feel, with short joins and simplified shapes, and the numerals follow the same blocky, rounded geometry for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display settings where impact and character matter—headlines, posters, branding systems, logos, and packaging. It can also work for UI-style labels or titles when a bold, futuristic aesthetic is desired, but it benefits from generous sizing and spacing for clarity.
The overall tone is futuristic and technical, with a strong retro-digital flavor reminiscent of display lettering on equipment, arcade-era graphics, or sci-fi interfaces. Its broad stance and compact counters project confidence and power rather than softness, giving text a deliberate, engineered presence.
The design appears intended to merge geometric, rounded-rectangle forms with an assertive, wide footprint to create an instantly recognizable display voice. Consistent stroke weight and simplified, modular construction suggest a focus on strong reproduction and a cohesive, tech-forward visual identity.
Spacing and rhythm feel intentionally chunky: wide silhouettes and tight internal spaces make lines look solid and graphic, especially at large sizes. The squared curves and flattened joins create a distinctive, modular personality that stands out in headlines and short statements.
