A heavy geometric sans built from squared, superellipse-like shapes with generous corner rounding. Strokes are consistently thick with tight apertures and mostly rectilinear counters, giving letters a compact, engineered silhouette. Terminals are blunt and softened, and curves are minimized in favor of stepped or squared contours, creating a modular rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures. The overall spacing reads slightly irregular due to the wide mix of open and enclosed forms, but the set stays visually cohesive through uniform stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, game titles, tech branding, and interface labels where bold, geometric letterforms help establish a futuristic or retro-computing mood. It can also work for short callouts, packaging marks, and signage-style graphics where a sturdy, modular look is desirable.
The tone is distinctly techno and retro-digital, reminiscent of arcade UI, sci‑fi labeling, and industrial equipment markings. Its chunky forms feel assertive and mechanical while the rounded corners keep it friendly rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a full text face with a strong digital/industrial flavor, prioritizing a consistent modular construction and high-impact presence over traditional text typography softness.
Distinctive details include highly squared bowls and counters, compact lowercase shapes with simplified joins, and numerals that echo the same rounded-rectangle geometry for a consistent alphanumeric texture. At smaller sizes the narrow openings and dense interior spaces may reduce clarity, while at display sizes the pixel-adjacent, device-like personality becomes the main attraction.
