This typeface is a geometric sans with squarish, rounded-rectangle counters and a largely monoline construction. Many strokes terminate in softened corners, while select joins and terminals show angular notches and cut-ins that create a slightly stenciled, engineered feel. Curves are often simplified into boxy arcs (notably in C, G, O, Q, and 0), and diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are sharp and clean against the otherwise rounded geometry. Lowercase forms keep a compact, utilitarian skeleton with distinctive, sometimes asymmetric details (single-storey a, a hooked y, and a q with a straight descender), giving the overall rhythm an intentionally irregular cadence despite consistent stroke weight.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where its unusual geometry can carry a visual identity. It works well for posters, packaging, branding marks, and entertainment or tech-adjacent applications (such as game UI or event graphics) where a quirky, designed look is desirable. For long-form reading, its eccentric detailing is likely more effective as an accent than a body text choice.
The tone reads playful and offbeat—like a futuristic display face filtered through retro industrial signage. Its quirky notches and squared curves add personality and a slightly game-like or sci‑fi interface energy, without becoming chaotic or overly ornamental.
The letterforms appear designed to merge clean geometric construction with deliberate oddities—rounded-square counters paired with sharp diagonals and notched terminals—to create a distinctive, memorable display voice. The goal seems to be a cohesive system that still feels custom and characterful, evoking retro-futurist and industrial cues without strict adherence to conventional sans proportions.
The design relies on repeated geometric motifs—rounded rectangles, squared bowls, and occasional cut-out joints—which helps it feel coherent even as individual letters introduce idiosyncratic details. Numerals match the same boxy, softened style, with especially distinctive 2, 3, and 5 forms that emphasize the font’s character.
