A heavy, extended geometric sans built from squared, superelliptical contours with generously rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and monoline, producing dense, high-impact letterforms with compact internal counters and frequent horizontal “slot” apertures (notably in E, S, and numerals). Curves are minimized in favor of chamfered joins and angular diagonals; terminals are flat and broad, and many forms use rectangular bowls and notches to maintain a consistent, machined rhythm. Spacing and proportions read wide and stable, with a low-contrast, modular construction that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display typography: punchy headlines, poster titles, packaging callouts, and brand marks that need a bold, futuristic presence. It also fits gaming and tech UI theming, esports graphics, and motion titles where wide, blocky forms hold up on screen.
The overall tone is assertive and synthetic—evoking digital hardware, sci‑fi interfaces, and arcade-era display graphics. Its squared rounding and cut-in apertures add a engineered, utilitarian feel that reads confident and modern rather than friendly or literary.
The design appears intended as a contemporary techno display sans that prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and a cohesive, modular geometry. Rounded-rectangle construction and slot-like apertures suggest a deliberate aim for a digital, industrial voice with high impact in short text.
Distinctive details include the single-storey lowercase a, a squared, enclosed o/0, and diagonal-cut forms on letters like k, v, w, x, and y that reinforce a techno aesthetic. The extreme weight and tight counters make it best at larger sizes where the internal openings remain clear.
