A compact, rounded geometric sans with heavy, capsule-shaped strokes and softened corners throughout. Counters are small and often rendered as rectangular or pill-like cut-ins, giving several letters a semi-stencil feel and a distinctly modular construction. The alphabet mixes broad, squared bowls with occasional tapered joins and narrow apertures, producing a lively rhythm despite the dense weight. Numerals follow the same logic, with simplified forms and inset counters that keep the set visually consistent in texture and color.
Best suited to display typography where its chunky forms and distinctive cut-in counters can be appreciated—headlines, posters, product marks, and tech-forward branding. It can also work for packaging or UI title treatments when used at generous sizes and with ample spacing.
The overall tone feels futuristic and gadget-like, with a playful retro sci‑fi flavor reminiscent of arcade interfaces and space-age signage. Its chunky, cut-out details add character and a slightly quirky voice, reading as confident and graphic rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, contemporary display voice using rounded modular shapes and inset counters that evoke digital or industrial cut-outs. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and memorable letterforms over neutrality, aiming for high visual presence in short-form text.
The dense fill and reduced internal whitespace create strong impact at display sizes, while the small counters and stencil-like notches can visually close up as sizes get smaller or when used on complex backgrounds. The design’s distinctive cut-ins and rounded terminals make it especially recognizable in short headlines and logotypes.
