A geometric display sans built from squared, superellipse-like bowls and wide chamfered corners, creating an octagonal silhouette across rounds and counters. Strokes are heavy and clean with crisp terminals, and most joins avoid curves in favor of angled cuts and flattened arcs. Counters tend to be rectangular or rounded-rect shapes (notably in O/0 and B/8), while diagonals (V, W, X, Z) are simplified into sharp, straight geometry. The overall construction is consistent and modular, with a slightly mechanical rhythm and occasional stylized cuts in letters like S and G that reinforce the engineered feel.
Best suited for short, prominent settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and logotypes where its angular, tech-forward geometry can carry the visual identity. It also fits interface-style graphics and game/UI elements, as well as labels and display typography that benefit from a robust, modular look.
The tone reads futuristic and game-ready, echoing sci‑fi interfaces, arcade title screens, and industrial labeling. Its sharp chamfers and boxy curves convey precision and toughness, with a confident, high-impact voice rather than a neutral text demeanor.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a cohesive alphabet with chamfered corners and engineered cuts, prioritizing impact and a futuristic aesthetic over traditional text comfort. It aims to feel systematic and industrial, delivering a consistent, grid-like construction across letters and numbers.
The numerals follow the same squared-bowl logic, with 0/8 especially box-like and 1 rendered as a simple tapered stroke, helping the set feel signage-oriented. Uppercase forms are particularly strong and logo-friendly, while the lowercase keeps the same angular grammar, giving mixed-case setting a distinctly stylized, constructed character.
