A chunky, squared-off sans with heavily rounded outer corners and largely rectangular counters. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, with frequent open joins and short, clipped terminals that create a semi-stenciled feel in places. The design favors boxy construction over smooth curves, producing wide shoulders on letters like n and h, angular diagonals, and an overall compact footprint. Numerals echo the same modular geometry, with squared bowls and simplified forms that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to short bursts of text where the geometric flavor can be a feature: logos, posters, titles, and branding that wants an arcade/tech mood. It can also work for game interfaces or product packaging where a sturdy, modular look helps type feel integrated with graphic shapes.
The overall tone is tech-forward and game-like, evoking arcade UI, sci‑fi panels, and industrial labeling. Its quirky cut-ins and partially open corners add a playful, slightly mechanical personality that feels more decorative than utilitarian.
The letterforms suggest an intention to blend a robust geometric sans skeleton with intentionally irregular cut-ins that add character and a hint of stenciling. The result prioritizes distinctive texture and a constructed, futuristic feel over traditional text neutrality.
Spacing appears fairly even in running text, but the pronounced squareness and occasional open corners make the texture distinctly patterned. The mix of closed rectangular forms (e.g., O/0-like shapes) and deliberately broken strokes gives the face a constructed, modular rhythm.
