A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) contours and tight, compact counters. Strokes stay consistently thick, with corners softened into squared rounds rather than true circles, giving letters a machined, stamped feel. Many forms use narrow vertical apertures and slit-like bowls, and several joins are simplified into straight segments, producing a modular rhythm. The lowercase is tall with minimal extenders, and numerals follow the same squared, condensed construction for a uniform texture in text.
Best suited to display applications where its chunky silhouette and squared rounding can be appreciated: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and bold wayfinding or label-style signage. It can work for short text or UI titling when set with ample size and spacing, but it is primarily a strong-impact face rather than a long-form reader.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a distinctly retro-futurist and industrial flavor. Its squared curves and cut-in openings feel technical and mechanical, suggesting equipment labeling, arcade-era graphics, or engineered signage rather than editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a controlled, geometric voice—combining rounded-rectangle construction with simplified, modular letterforms for a tough, engineered look. It prioritizes a distinctive texture and high presence in display settings over delicate detail.
At larger sizes the distinctive internal cutouts and squared terminals become a defining detail, while in smaller settings those tight apertures can visually close up, increasing the darkness of paragraphs. The design reads best when given breathing room through generous tracking or display-scale use.
