A heavy, block-constructed sans with broad proportions, softened corners, and frequent chamfered terminals that give strokes a faceted, cut-in look. Counters are compact and often rectangular or pill-shaped, and several glyphs use deliberate gaps and inktrap-like notches that create a semi-stenciled rhythm. Curves are squarish and controlled, with uniform stroke weight and a generally low, compact lowercase presence relative to the capitals. Numerals and key letters (like S, G, and a) show distinctive internal cuts that reinforce a modular, engineered feel.
Best suited to logos, headlines, and short display copy where the distinctive cut-ins and chunky geometry can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging, signage, and game/tech interface titles that benefit from a playful, engineered aesthetic.
The overall tone reads bold and friendly with a retro-futuristic, arcade-like energy. Its softened geometry keeps it approachable, while the angular cuts add a technical, industrial edge that feels game-UI adjacent and slightly sci-fi.
The letterforms appear designed to combine soft geometric shapes with purposeful angular cutouts, creating a recognizable, modular display voice. The consistent corner language and semi-stencil details suggest an intention to feel both approachable and machine-made, prioritizing impact and character over neutral text readability.
The design emphasizes strong silhouette recognition through wide bodies, tight apertures, and repeated corner treatments. The semi-open joins and internal cutouts become a primary texture in text, which increases personality but can make dense paragraphs feel busy at smaller sizes.
