A heavy, geometric sans built from squared silhouettes with generously rounded corners and mostly flat terminals. Counters and bowls tend toward rounded-rectangle (superellipse) shapes, producing a compact, engineered look with crisp interior corners and occasional notch-like joins where strokes meet. Proportions favor tall, narrow capitals and a slightly more open, utilitarian lowercase; spacing feels steady and modular, with clear vertical stress and minimal curvature outside of the corner rounding. Numerals follow the same squarish logic, with closed, boxy forms and consistent stroke behavior across the set.
Best suited for display use such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and bold signage where strong silhouette recognition matters. It also fits interface or product graphics that want a technical, modular feel, especially in short bursts of text or all-caps settings.
The overall tone is industrial and techno-leaning, with a retro-futuristic flavor reminiscent of machinery labeling, arcade-era graphics, and sci‑fi interface typography. Its dense black shapes and squared rhythm read as confident and functional, prioritizing impact and structure over softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to merge geometric, rectangular construction with rounded-corner friendliness, creating a robust display sans that feels engineered and contemporary while nodding to retro technical aesthetics. It aims for high visual impact and consistent, system-like rhythm across letters and numerals.
Distinctive construction comes from the contrast between rigid rectangular stems and softened corners, which keeps the texture bold while avoiding harshness. The cap-heavy stance and compact internal spaces make it especially striking at larger sizes, where the corner rounding and notches become part of the visual signature.
