A highly geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms, with broad, extended proportions and smooth, consistently thick strokes. Counters and apertures are tightly controlled and often expressed as horizontal slots or squared openings, producing a distinctly engineered, modular rhythm. Corners are generously radiused, terminals tend to be blunt, and many joins read as cleanly machined. The lowercase maintains a tall, uniform x-height feel, with simplified shapes that emphasize horizontal structure over calligraphic detail.
Best suited to display roles where a bold, engineered voice is desired—headlines, poster typography, logotypes, game and esports branding, and on-screen interface titles. It can also work for short labels and signage where clarity is supported by ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is futuristic and technical, evoking control panels, arcade UI, and sci‑fi branding. Its compact internal spaces and wide stance make it feel powerful and mechanized rather than friendly or handwritten.
The design appears intended to deliver a cohesive techno aesthetic through modular construction, rounded-square geometry, and repeated slot-like counters, prioritizing visual identity and impact over conventional text neutrality.
Distinctive horizontal cut-ins and slot counters appear across multiple letters and numerals, creating a cohesive “panel” motif in text. The wide set and heavy presence produce strong headline impact, while the tight apertures suggest careful spacing and generous tracking for best results at smaller sizes.
