A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and softly radiused corners. Strokes are consistently thick and weighty, with compact counters and minimal interior space, giving letters a dense, stamped silhouette. Curves resolve into squared, flattened bowls (notably in C, G, O, and S), and terminals are blunt with occasional notched cut-ins that create a modular, machined feel. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase with simplified, geometric forms and a tall x-height, while numerals follow the same squared-round logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display settings where mass and silhouette matter—headlines, posters, branding marks, and product or packaging callouts. It also fits interfaces and graphics that want a retro-tech or arcade aesthetic, such as game UI, esports visuals, and promotional art.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, leaning toward a retro-digital and arcade-like voice. Its chunky geometry and engineered notches evoke industrial labeling, game UI, and sci‑fi titling, projecting confidence and impact rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into an emphatic, highly legible display voice. By combining thick, uniform strokes with compact counters and modular cut-ins, it prioritizes a strong, engineered presence and a distinctive, tech-forward texture in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
Rhythm is strongly modular: many glyphs appear built from repeated rectangular masses, producing a uniform texture across words. The tight apertures and dense counters heighten the sense of solidity, and the wide stance helps maintain clarity at larger display sizes where the distinctive cut-ins and squared bowls become a defining feature.
