A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and frequent chamfered corners that give curves an octagonal, machined feel. Strokes are thick and even, with smooth terminals and minimal modulation, producing a crisp, high-impact silhouette. Counters tend toward squarish and compact, and the overall rhythm is tight and blocky with generous corner rounding that keeps forms from feeling sharp. Uppercase shapes are especially squared and stable, while lowercase maintains the same geometry with simplified, sturdy bowls and short, firm extenders.
Best suited for headlines, logos, product branding, and packaging where bold geometry and corner details can be appreciated. It also works well for signage, posters, and UI labels that benefit from a sturdy, technical voice and clear, chunky forms.
The tone reads modern-industrial and tech-forward, like labeling on equipment or interfaces, while the softened corners add approachability. Its slightly retro, arcade-adjacent geometry keeps it lively and distinctive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to merge industrial geometry with friendly rounding—delivering a robust, contemporary display sans that feels engineered yet approachable. The consistent cut-corner logic suggests a focus on creating a recognizable, system-like identity across all glyphs.
Distinctive chamfers appear at joins and inside corners, creating a consistent “cut-corner” motif across letters and numerals. Numerals and round letters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) emphasize the superelliptical, rounded-octagon look, aiding recognizability at larger sizes.
