A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves read as squarish ovals, corners are softened, and terminals tend to finish bluntly, giving the letters a molded, monolithic feel. Counters are relatively small and often rectangular or pill-shaped, with occasional cut-ins and notches that create a subtly stencil-like texture in letters and numerals. The rhythm is compact and dense, with sturdy verticals and simplified joins that keep silhouettes bold and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display roles where impact and silhouette clarity matter—headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for gaming or tech UI labels and navigation at larger sizes, where its compact interiors remain clear. For extended reading, it benefits from larger point sizes and added tracking to prevent text blocks from feeling overly dense.
The overall tone feels futuristic and industrial, like labeling on machinery or a sci‑fi interface, while the rounded corners keep it friendly rather than severe. The chunky shapes and occasional angular cuts add a playful, game-like energy that reads as contemporary and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a geometric, rounded-rect form language, balancing a futuristic/industrial character with approachable softness. The notched details and compact counters add visual identity beyond a plain geometric sans, helping it stand out in branding and statement typography.
Several glyphs emphasize distinctive cutouts (notably in S-like forms and some numerals), and the shapes stay consistently heavy across the set. The sample text shows strong word-shape presence but also indicates that tight counters and dense forms can darken quickly in long passages, favoring larger sizes and generous spacing.
