A compact, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners. Strokes are extremely heavy, with sharp internal cut-ins and occasional slotted counters that create a segmented, almost stencil-like look. Curves resolve into squarish bowls (notably in C/O/G and lowercase rounds), while joins are crisp and planar, giving the letterforms a machined, modular feel. The face reads best at display sizes where its internal apertures and cut details stay clear, and the overall rhythm alternates between solid masses and narrow inner voids.
Well-suited to high-impact headlines, poster typography, and branding where a strong geometric voice is needed. It can work effectively for logotypes and packaging that aim for an industrial or retro-tech aesthetic, and for short UI or titling moments where bold, modular forms are an asset.
The tone is forceful and engineered—evoking industrial labeling, arcade-era sci‑fi, and bold editorial headlines. Its chunky silhouettes and carved counters feel confident and slightly aggressive, with a playful retro-tech edge.
The design appears intended to merge rounded-rectangle geometry with carved, segmented interiors to create a distinctive display sans. It prioritizes graphic presence and a mechanical rhythm over subtle text readability, aiming for a recognizable, emblematic texture in large sizes.
The alphabet shows consistent corner radiusing and a recurring motif of vertical slots/segmented counters, which creates a distinctive texture across words. Numerals follow the same block geometry, keeping the set visually uniform in signage-like applications.
