A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) forms and broad, extended proportions. Strokes are monoline and firmly mechanical, with squared terminals softened by generous corner radii. Counters tend toward rectangular cutouts, and many letters use tight, partly closed apertures that create solid, blocky silhouettes. The lowercase echoes the caps closely, with a tall x-height, simplified joins, and minimal modulation; punctuation and numerals follow the same squared, rounded-corner construction for a consistent, engineered texture.
Best suited to display settings such as logotypes, headlines, posters, and tech or gaming interface accents where a bold, futuristic presence is desired. It can also work for short labels and packaging callouts, but extended text may feel dense due to the compact apertures and heavy color.
The overall tone is futuristic and utilitarian, evoking tech interfaces, arcade graphics, and industrial labeling. Its dense black mass and rounded corners balance aggression with a sleek, synthetic friendliness, giving it a distinctly sci‑fi display voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary sci‑fi aesthetic through superelliptic geometry, emphasizing bold silhouettes, rounded-square counters, and a consistent engineered rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Diagonal letters and angled strokes keep crisp, straight geometry rather than calligraphic movement, reinforcing a constructed, modular feel. The set reads best when allowed generous spacing and size, where the tight apertures and rectangular counters remain clear.
