A compact, geometric sans with squared proportions and softened, rounded corners. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, with tight interior counters and minimal contrast, producing a blocky silhouette. Many joins and terminals are clipped or chamfered, and several shapes use small cut-ins that suggest a semi-stencil construction without fully breaking the letterforms. The overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with sturdy stems, short crossbars, and simplified curves that read as rectangular arcs.
Best suited to headlines, branding marks, and short display lines where its compact, blocky shapes can read as a strong graphic texture. It also fits interface-style applications such as game UI, tech-themed graphics, labels, and packaging that benefit from an industrial, retro-futuristic voice.
The tone feels technical and industrial, with a retro-digital edge reminiscent of arcade, sci‑fi UI, and stamped labeling. Its dense, modular construction projects toughness and efficiency more than warmth, giving text a purposeful, machine-made character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using modular, squared geometry and rounded corners to create a distinctive techno-industrial identity. The semi-stencil cut-ins and tight counters reinforce a fabricated, engineered feel aimed at display typography.
Uppercase forms are especially squared and sign-like, while lowercase keeps the same rigid geometry for a cohesive, systemized look. Numerals follow the same compact logic, with angular turns and tight counters that reinforce the font’s display-forward presence.
