A heavy, block-constructed sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and softened corners throughout. Strokes are largely monolinear, with broad verticals and squared-off terminals that keep a tight, compact rhythm. Counters tend toward small, rectangular openings (notably in B, D, O, P, and numerals), and curves are expressed as superelliptic rounds rather than circles. The overall silhouette favors sturdy, wide-set forms with short apertures and minimal tapering, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best used for headlines and display settings where its dense, rounded-block forms can deliver maximum impact. It suits branding and logotypes that want a tough, engineered voice, as well as packaging, labels, and event graphics that benefit from a bold, retro-tech aesthetic. It can also work well for short UI or gaming-style titles where a chunky, screen-inspired look is desired.
The font projects a bold, mechanical confidence with a distinctly retro-digital flavor. Its squared, rounded shapes and tight internal spaces evoke arcade graphics, industrial labeling, and sci‑fi interface typography. The tone is energetic and forceful rather than elegant, prioritizing impact and attitude.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans built from rounded-rectangular primitives, balancing a friendly corner radius with an industrial, machined presence. Its simplified construction and tight counters suggest a focus on bold signage-like clarity and a distinctive retro-tech personality rather than delicate text readability.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent block geometry, with the lowercase staying sturdy and simplified rather than calligraphic. The figures mirror the same rounded-rectangle construction, keeping a uniform, engineered feel across alphanumerics. In longer lines the dense counters and compact apertures create a strong, dark typographic color, best suited to sizes where the interior openings remain clear.
