A heavy, geometric sans built from squared counters and rounded-rectangle curves, giving most letters a superelliptical, boxy silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and corners alternate between softly radiused outer turns and crisp, chamfer-like internal notches. Apertures tend to be tight and counters are rectangular, producing a compact, dense texture in text. Many diagonals and junctions resolve into clean, engineered cuts, while bowls and shoulders keep a controlled, rounded-square feel.
Best suited to display settings where a bold, engineered look is desired—headlines, posters, title cards, branding marks, and packaging. It also fits interface and entertainment contexts such as game menus or tech-themed graphics, where strong silhouettes and geometric consistency help the type hold up against busy backgrounds.
The overall tone is assertive and machine-made, with a distinct sci‑fi/arcade flavor. Its squared rounding and cut-in joints suggest digital hardware, industrial labeling, and game UI aesthetics, reading confident and somewhat aggressive rather than friendly or casual.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a cohesive rounded-square construction, blending soft outer corners with sharp internal cuts for a modern, technical personality. The forms emphasize sturdy legibility and a distinctive, stylized rhythm intended to stand out in branding and display typography.
The numerals follow the same squared-counter logic and remain highly graphic, with simplified joins and sturdy forms that prioritize impact over delicacy. In running text, the tight apertures and chunky details create a strong rhythm that favors larger sizes and short bursts of copy.
