A compact, heavy-stroked sans with a monoline feel and softened, rounded terminals. Many curves are rendered as faceted or octagonal arcs, giving letters like C, G, O, and S a chamfered, modular geometry rather than smooth bowls. Proportions are relatively tight with short extenders, open counters, and clear, simplified joins; several forms use angled cuts and notched details that create a slightly industrial rhythm. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with consistent stroke thickness and sturdy silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, badges, logos, posters, and packaging where its faceted curves and rounded terminals can read as a deliberate style choice. It can also work for short UI labels or game/tech-themed interfaces, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the notches and chamfers remain clear.
The overall tone reads retro-futuristic and game-adjacent: friendly due to the rounded ends, but also mechanical because of the chamfered curves and clipped corners. It feels energetic and informal, with a distinctive, slightly quirky voice that stands out in short bursts.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, characterful sans that blends rounded friendliness with a constructed, modular edge. Its consistent chamfered geometry suggests an aim for distinctive, easily recognizable word shapes rather than neutrality for long-form reading.
Lowercase shapes lean toward single-storey constructions (notably a and g) with minimal calligraphic contrast. The design’s repeated chamfers and angled terminals create strong patterning, while the generous stroke weight keeps small interior spaces from feeling too delicate.
