A heavy, blocky sans with squared, chamfered outlines and generously rounded corners. The forms lean on horizontal slabs and flattened curves, creating a wide, stable silhouette with compact counters. Stroke contrast shows up as emphasized horizontals and cut-in notches, giving many letters a machined, segmented feel. Terminals are blunt and often feature small breaks or scoops (notably in S, 2, 5, and 9), while bowls and apertures stay tight and angular, maintaining a consistent, modular rhythm across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as logotypes, posters, titles, packaging callouts, and bold UI or game-related screens where its geometric cut-ins can be appreciated. It performs particularly well in large sizes and in contexts that benefit from a technical, performance-driven voice.
The overall tone is bold and synthetic, with a distinctly techno and industrial attitude. Its clipped corners and engineered cutouts evoke hardware, racing graphics, and arcade-era display lettering, reading as energetic and assertive rather than friendly or literary.
The design appears intended as a punchy display sans that merges geometric signage simplicity with a stylized, machined texture. The repeated chamfers, tight counters, and deliberate internal cutouts aim to create instant recognition and a distinctive, futuristic stamp in branding and headline typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a unified construction and weight, with lowercase designed to match the same squared geometry rather than calligraphic tradition. Numerals echo the letter style closely, using angled facets and internal cut shapes that keep the set cohesive in headings and UI-like labeling.
