A heavy, rounded-rectangular sans with a distinctly squared, superellipse construction. Strokes are monolinear and terminals are softly rounded, giving forms a molded, almost stamped look. Counters tend toward rounded rectangles (notably in O, D, P, and 0), while diagonals and joins (V, W, K, X) are broad and sturdy. The lowercase is compact with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a dot on i/j that reads as a small square, reinforcing the geometric rhythm. Overall spacing and silhouettes prioritize blocky, high-impact shapes over delicate detail, keeping letterforms clean at display sizes.
Best suited for branding, logos, headlines, packaging, posters, and attention-grabbing signage where a strong, geometric presence is needed. It also fits interface-style applications such as gaming overlays, tech event graphics, and product labeling, particularly when used in larger sizes where its compact counters and rounded-square details stay clear.
The font conveys a modern, engineered tone with an unmistakably retro-tech flavor—like arcade UI, sci‑fi labeling, or sports branding. Its rounded corners soften the aggression of the weight, balancing toughness with approachability. The consistent geometric logic gives it a confident, contemporary voice suited to bold statements and high-contrast layouts.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact through simplified, rounded-rectangular geometry—combining a bold, industrial sturdiness with friendly corners. It emphasizes consistency and punch for display typography, offering a recognizable, tech-leaning personality while remaining clean and legible in short texts.
Distinctive details include a squared, inset-like counter treatment and a Q with a short diagonal tail. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with a compact, segmented feel in forms like 2, 3, and 5. The overall texture is dense and uniform, creating strong word shapes and a solid typographic “block” in headings.
