A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms with soft corners and squared-off terminals. Strokes are uniform and dense, with tight internal counters and frequent rectangular cut-ins that create a segmented, almost stencil-like construction. Curves are simplified into broad, blocky arcs, while straight sections dominate, producing a strongly modular rhythm. Lowercase shows a tall x-height and compact ascenders/descenders, keeping lines visually even and packed.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, product branding, packaging, and logo wordmarks where its modular details can be appreciated. It can also work for short UI labels or game/tech-themed titling when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone feels tech-forward and industrial, with a rugged, engineered character. Its segmented details and dense massing suggest machinery, interfaces, and sci‑fi signage rather than traditional editorial typography. The rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh, but it remains bold and insistent.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, futuristic voice using superelliptical geometry and deliberate segmentation. By combining rounded-rectangle skeletons with engineered notches, it aims for high impact and a distinctive, constructed silhouette that stands out in branding and titling.
Distinctive cutouts and notches appear across many glyphs, giving the face a constructed, piecewise look that reads well at larger sizes and can become busy in small text. Numerals and capitals have a strong, sign-like presence, while the lowercase maintains the same angular/rounded hybrid language for consistent texture.
