A compact, heavy display sans built from squared, rounded-rectangle forms with consistent stroke weight. Corners are softened rather than sharply chamfered, giving the geometry a smooth superelliptical feel. Many joins and terminals echo a modular, cut-in construction—visible in letters like M/W and several lowercase forms—creating a slightly stencil-like rhythm. Counters tend to be small and rectangular, and curved letters are largely interpreted through straight segments and rounded corners, producing a uniform, mechanical texture in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, titles, branding marks, and poster typography. It also fits interface labels and game/UI screens where a compact, tech-forward look is desired, and works well on packaging or product graphics that benefit from an industrial, modular aesthetic.
The overall tone feels technical and engineered, with a retro-futurist, arcade-influenced voice. Its blocky, compact shapes read as assertive and utilitarian, suggesting signage, machinery labeling, or digital interfaces rather than casual editorial typography.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a bold, compact display alphabet with a distinctly mechanical cadence. By minimizing organic curves and leaning on modular cut-ins and squared counters, it aims for a functional, futuristic personality that stays consistent across upper- and lowercase and numerals.
The typeface maintains strong vertical emphasis and tight internal spacing, so large sizes and generous tracking help preserve clarity. Numerals follow the same squared logic, giving a consistent, system-like appearance across alphanumerics.
