A heavy, geometric sans with softly rounded outer corners and a strongly modular construction. Many strokes resolve into squared terminals and rectangular counters, creating a cut-and-built feel, while selective thinning and inset notches introduce sharp contrast within otherwise chunky forms. Curves are simplified into quarter-rounds and arcs, and several letters use split strokes or internal gaps that read like stencil cuts. Overall spacing feels compact and rhythmic, with wide silhouettes and a distinctly engineered, display-first texture.
Best suited to large-scale settings where its internal cutouts and contrast can be appreciated: posters, headlines, album art, and brand marks. It can also work for packaging, event graphics, and short UI/label elements when a strong retro-tech voice is desired. For long passages, it will be most effective in short bursts or as a secondary display accent.
The tone is bold and retro-futuristic, mixing mid-century sci-fi signage with a contemporary tech aesthetic. Its blocky geometry and deliberate cut-ins give it an industrial, fabricated character, while the rounded corners keep it approachable and slightly playful. The result feels like control-panel labeling, arcade titling, or branded interface graphics rather than neutral text typography.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through simplified geometry, rounded-square proportions, and deliberate stencil-like breaks. Its contrast is used as a graphic device—more about shaping personality and rhythm than traditional calligraphic stress—aiming for a distinctive, engineered display texture.
The design leans on distinctive internal cutouts and asymmetric detailing that make many characters highly recognizable but also visually busy at small sizes. Numerals and capitals appear especially logo-like, while the lowercase maintains the same modular logic with occasional open bowls and segmented strokes that emphasize the constructed theme.
