A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms, with broad proportions and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast and a sturdy, engineered rhythm. Counters tend toward squarish ovals, apertures are compact, and joins are clean and orthogonal, giving many letters a modular, tile-like construction. The lowercase maintains a tall x-height and simple silhouettes, while figures are similarly boxy and dense, optimized for bold display presence.
Best suited to display applications where impact and personality matter: headlines, brand marks, product naming, posters, and packaging. It also fits UI titles, game/tech graphics, and signage-style layouts, especially at medium to large sizes where the squarish counters and rounded corners remain distinct.
The overall tone is unmistakably techno and retro-futurist, evoking arcade-era signage, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling. Rounded corners keep the otherwise rigid geometry friendly, producing a confident, playful toughness rather than a sharp or aggressive feel.
This font appears designed to deliver a bold, modular voice with a distinctly technological flavor, using superelliptical geometry to balance rigid structure with approachable softness. The goal is high visual recognition and a cohesive, system-like aesthetic across letters and numbers.
The design emphasizes closed forms and tight internal spaces, which increases visual punch but can reduce clarity at small sizes or in long passages. The wide set and strong horizontals create a stable, platform-like baseline texture that reads best when given room.
