A heavy, geometric display face built from compact, squarish forms with generous rounding and frequent angled or notched cut-ins. Strokes tend toward monoline behavior, with broad, flat terminals and an overall “machined” feel created by consistent chamfers, inset counters, and occasional stencil-like breaks. Counters are mostly rectangular or pill-shaped, and several letters use distinctive internal cuts (notably in forms like E, G, S, and a) that emphasize a modular, constructed rhythm. Lowercase forms are simplified and sturdy, with short ascenders/descenders and a single-storey a; numerals echo the same blocky architecture with rectangular apertures.
Works best at large sizes where the notches and inset counters are clearly visible—headlines, branding marks, title cards, packaging callouts, and on-screen graphics. It can also suit game/arcade interfaces and event posters where a bold, techy texture is desirable.
The tone reads energetic and game-like, with a sci‑fi/industrial edge. Its chunky silhouettes and quirky internal cutouts give it a playful, slightly mechanical personality that feels at home in tech-forward or retro-futuristic settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive, constructed silhouette—combining rounded-square geometry with deliberate cutouts to create a memorable, futuristic display voice.
Spacing appears designed for display: the dense shapes and squared counters create strong texture in lines of text, while the unusual cut-ins add visual interest but reduce neutrality for longer reading. The design maintains a consistent construction logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, which helps it hold together in logos and headlines.
