A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing compact counters and sturdy silhouettes, while terminals are blunt and squared-off rather than tapered. Curves read as superelliptical (square-leaning rounds), and diagonals are used sparingly but decisively (notably in K, V, W, X, and Z), maintaining a tight, modular rhythm. Overall spacing appears stable and block-like, with a distinctly engineered, grid-friendly feel.
Best suited to large-size display applications where its heavy weight and tight counters remain clear: headlines, branding and logotypes, posters, packaging, and titles for tech, gaming, and sci‑fi themed materials. It can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding-style text when ample size and contrast are available.
The letterforms project a retro-futuristic, arcade-like energy—bold, mechanized, and slightly playful. The squared curves and thick, rounded geometry suggest digital hardware, sci‑fi interfaces, and 1970s/80s techno aesthetics, while the smooth corners keep the tone approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modular voice built from rounded rectangles—optimized for impact, reproducibility, and a cohesive geometric system. Its simplified, engineered shapes prioritize strong presence and a distinctive retro-tech personality over neutrality.
Distinctive forms include a single-storey a with an inset counter, a compact e with a squared aperture, and a w that reads as a multi-stem, trident-like construction. Several glyphs emphasize internal cutouts and notches, reinforcing a stenciled, fabricated look without appearing delicate.
