A geometric sans with a modular, rounded-rectangle construction and frequent chamfered corners that create an octagonal feel in curved letters. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with broad horizontal proportions and compact counters that read like cutouts. Curves are minimized in favor of straight segments and softened corners, producing a crisp, engineered silhouette. The lowercase maintains a large x-height and simplified forms, while punctuation and numerals follow the same angular, slot-like detailing for a consistent rhythm.
Best suited for display roles such as headlines, posters, branding marks, game titles, and interface headings where a bold, technical voice is desired. It also works well for signage or product labeling that benefits from a sturdy, engineered look, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is sci‑fi and machine-made, evoking interfaces, hardware labeling, and arcade-era display typography. Its squared, streamlined shapes feel assertive and technical, with a subtle retro-future edge.
The design appears intended to translate superellipse-like geometry into a high-impact display sans, prioritizing a futuristic, industrial aesthetic and consistent modular construction across the set. Its simplified, wide forms aim for strong presence and quick recognition in short text and titling.
Many glyphs feature distinctive internal notches or slit-like terminals that enhance the mechanical character and improve differentiation at display sizes. The wide stance and tight interior spaces make it most at home when given ample tracking and used where strong silhouette recognition is preferred over delicate detail.
