A heavy, block-constructed sans with a squared, superellipse-driven skeleton and softly rounded outer corners. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and counters are cut as small rectangular or slot-like apertures, producing a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette. Curves are largely implied through chamfers and rounded corners rather than true circular bowls, giving characters a compact, machined feel. Proportions lean broad and stable, with a tall lowercase that keeps x-height prominent and maintains strong presence in mixed-case settings.
Best suited for high-impact headlines, poster typography, logo wordmarks, and short branding statements where its dense forms can dominate the page. It also fits gaming and tech-oriented interface titles, signage-style labels, and packaging callouts that benefit from a sturdy, industrial voice.
The tone is bold and mechanical, evoking retro game interfaces, sci‑fi labeling, and rugged equipment markings. Its chunky geometry reads assertive and utilitarian, with a playful arcade edge when set large.
The font appears designed to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a confident display alphabet: compact counters, consistent stroke weight, and modular shaping prioritize punch, recognizability, and a futuristic/industrial character over delicate text readability.
The design relies on distinctive cut-ins and stepped joins (notably in letters like S, G, and E) that create a rhythmic, pixel-adjacent texture without being strictly bitmap. The simplified interior spaces and tight apertures favor display sizes, where the sculpted corners and rectangular counters remain clear.
