A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms, with squared counters and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, producing a compact, punchy texture with minimal modulation. Many letters show subtly chiseled joins and tapered terminals that read as small notches or facets, adding angular tension to otherwise rounded construction. Bowls and counters tend toward boxy shapes, apertures are relatively tight, and spacing appears sturdy, giving lines a dense, uniform rhythm in text.
This font is well suited to headlines and short text where its dense rhythm and distinctive geometry can be appreciated—such as posters, branding systems, product packaging, and logotypes. It can also work for UI or game-related titling and labels when a tech-forward, arcade-leaning flavor is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is techno and industrial, blending retro arcade signage with a contemporary geometric sensibility. Its blocky silhouettes and squared counters feel engineered and intentional, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh. The result is a futuristic, gadget-like voice that still nods to vintage display typography.
The design appears intended to merge rounded-rectangle geometry with sturdy, high-impact letterforms, creating a distinctive display sans that feels both engineered and characterful. The faceted terminals and squared counters suggest an aim for instant recognizability and a strong visual signature in titles and marks.
Distinctive superellipse geometry is especially evident in rounded letters and numerals, where curves resolve into flattened arcs and square-ish interiors. The face keeps strong silhouette clarity at display sizes, and the faceted terminal treatments provide a recognizable texture that helps headings stand out.
