A sharply constructed sans with a modular, squared skeleton softened by rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes alternate between very heavy verticals and hairline horizontals/diagonals, producing a crisp, poster-like rhythm. Counters are mostly rectangular with softened corners, and many joins show small notches and tight apertures that read like ink-trap or stencil-adjacent detailing. Uppercase forms are compact and geometric, while the lowercase introduces more conventional proportions with single-storey a and g, square dots, and a mix of blunt terminals and thin cross-strokes. Numerals follow the same boxy, rounded-corner logic with prominent vertical stress and neatly clipped openings.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, titles, packaging, and bold brand marks where the strong verticals and geometric counters can read cleanly. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when set large enough to preserve the thin connecting strokes and small apertures.
The overall tone is bold, engineered, and slightly retro-futuristic—evoking industrial labeling, arcade-era display typography, and modern tech branding. The extreme stroke contrast and squared curves create a confident, attention-seeking voice that feels precise rather than friendly.
Likely designed to explore a superelliptic, rounded-rectangle geometry combined with extreme contrast to achieve a distinctive, engineered display voice. The added notches and tight joins suggest an intention to keep shapes crisp and avoid clogging while maintaining a dense, impactful silhouette.
The design relies on tight internal spaces and thin linking strokes, so texture can shift noticeably with size and background. Wide rounded forms like O/Q and the squared, compact curves in B/D/S reinforce a consistent superelliptic theme across cases and figures.
