A heavy, squared sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms. Strokes are consistently thick with softened corners, producing a compact, boxy silhouette even in curved letters. The design favors horizontal and vertical construction, with minimal contrast and frequent squared counters (notably in O/0 and D). Several glyphs use intentional gaps and notches—especially S, Z, and some numerals—creating a slightly segmented, almost stencil-like rhythm. Spacing and widths vary across the set, but the overall texture stays dense and geometric, with simplified terminals and strong baseline presence.
Works best where strong, wide letterforms are desirable: logos, headlines, posters, game or sci‑fi titling, and packaging with a tech-forward mood. It can also serve for short UI labels or dashboards when you want a bold, geometric voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the cut details and squared counters remain clear.
The face reads as modern and synthetic, with a distinctly techno and arcade flavor. Rounded corners keep it friendly enough for display, but the modular cuts and squared curves push it toward a utilitarian, machine-made tone. Overall it feels suited to futuristic interfaces, equipment labeling, and bold branding that wants a digital or industrial edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, futuristic sans with a rounded-rectangle construction and deliberate cut details to suggest digital segmentation. It prioritizes impact, clarity, and a consistent geometric system over traditional text comfort, aiming for a distinctive display presence in tech and industrial contexts.
Uppercase forms are particularly uniform and architectural, while lowercase retains the same geometric logic with single-storey shapes and squared bowls. Numerals continue the theme with rounded-rectangle construction and occasional cut-ins that enhance a digital, segmented impression. The large, open apertures and blocky counters help preserve recognizability at display sizes despite the dense stroke weight.
