A heavy, squared sans built from rounded-rectangle forms and straight strokes, with softly radiused outer corners and mostly flat terminals. Counters are compact and geometric, often rectangular or notch-cut, creating a tight, modular rhythm. The lowercase has a notably tall x-height and short extenders, keeping word shapes dense and blocky, while diagonals and joins are simplified into sturdy, monoline-like constructions. Numerals and capitals follow the same superelliptical logic, with occasional ink-trap-like notches and cut-ins that sharpen the interior geometry.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where a bold, technical voice is needed. It also fits UI/overlay moments (scoreboards, dashboards, title cards) when set at larger sizes with a bit of extra letterspacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels engineered and purposeful—part sci‑fi interface, part industrial labeling. Its squared silhouettes and clipped details read as modern and technical, with a slightly retro arcade/console flavor in the way curves resolve into rounded corners and notched counters.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, contemporary sans with a rounded-rectangular skeleton and subtle cut-in details, balancing friendliness from the soft corners with precision from the squared structure. The tall lowercase proportions suggest an emphasis on punchy readability in short phrases and dense headline copy.
At smaller sizes the tight apertures and dense counters can close up, so it benefits from generous tracking and strong contrast against the background. In larger display settings, the consistent corner radius and modular construction become the defining character, especially in all-caps headlines and numeric strings.
