A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like curves, combining heavy, blocky strokes with occasional hairline connectors and inline cut-ins. Terminals are consistently softened with generous corner radii, while counters tend toward rectangular forms, producing a crisp, engineered texture. Several glyphs show a split personality of filled masses and thin interior lines or open contours, creating a distinctive high-contrast rhythm. The overall construction feels modular and grid-minded, with compact joins, clean apertures, and simplified diagonals that keep the silhouette sturdy and graphic.
Best suited to display settings where its modular geometry and contrast can read clearly—headlines, logotypes, posters, packaging, and tech or gaming interfaces. It can add a strong, stylized voice to short passages and signage, particularly when generous spacing and ample size allow the internal linework and squared counters to remain legible.
The tone is decidedly sci‑fi and digital, evoking control panels, arcade titles, and tech branding. Its rounded-square geometry reads friendly enough to avoid harshness, but the hard-edged structure and sharp contrast lend an assertive, machine-made confidence. The font projects a retro-future sensibility that feels both contemporary and game-inspired.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangular geometry into a bold, futuristic voice, using high contrast and inset/inline detailing to suggest circuitry and industrial fabrication. It prioritizes graphic impact and a distinctive texture over neutrality, aiming for immediate recognizability in branding and display typography.
The design mixes solid and outline-like gestures within the same alphabet, producing striking alternation between dense forms and airy linear details. This interplay is especially noticeable in rounded letters and numerals, where rectangular counters and inset strokes emphasize a technical, fabricated look. The sample text shows a strong horizontal presence and a distinctive texture at larger sizes.
