A chunky, modular sans with squared skeletons and consistently rounded outer corners, producing a soft-rectangular silhouette. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear in feel, with selective internal cut-ins and notches that create a mildly stenciled, machined rhythm. Counters tend toward rectangular shapes (notably in O, D, P, R, and numerals), and joins are abrupt and orthogonal, emphasizing a grid-based construction. Spacing appears generous and steady in the sample text, supporting clear separation between glyph blocks at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, title cards, and bold brand marks where a strong, engineered texture is desirable. It also fits game UI, tech packaging, and signage-style graphics, especially when set with ample tracking or at larger sizes to showcase the internal cut-ins and rectangular counters.
The overall tone is bold and mechanical, evoking retro-futurist interfaces, arcade cabinets, and industrial labeling. Its squared forms and engineered notches read as utilitarian and tech-driven rather than friendly or literary.
The design appears intended to translate a grid-built, machine-cut aesthetic into a readable sans, balancing hard right angles with rounded corners for smoother flow. Its distinctive notches and blocky counters suggest a deliberate effort to signal technology and durability while staying legible in short lines of display text.
Distinctive details include angular terminals with softened corners, occasional inset “steps” on curves (seen in letters like S and G), and simplified, geometric numerals. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s modular logic, keeping the texture uniform and punchy in paragraphs while remaining clearly display-oriented.
