A heavy, geometric sans built from squared, rounded-rectangle forms with generous corner radii and mostly uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into superelliptic bowls and rectangular counters, giving letters like O, D, and P a boxy interior rhythm rather than circular ones. Terminals are predominantly flat and orthogonal, with frequent notches and cut-ins (notably in E, F, G, S, and several lowercase forms) that create a chiseled, modular silhouette. The lowercase maintains a high, sturdy profile with simplified constructions (single-storey a and g) and compact apertures, while figures are similarly squared and sturdy, with strong horizontal bars and minimal modulation.
Best suited for bold headlines, titles, logos, and branding where a strong, futuristic or arcade-inspired voice is desired. It also works well for game UI labels, tech packaging, and event posters where the squared, modular rhythm reads as deliberate and engineered. For long-form text, it will be most effective when given ample size and spacing to keep counters and cut-ins clear.
The overall tone is assertive and machine-made, evoking retro digital signage, arcade aesthetics, and sci‑fi interface typography. Its squared curves and purposeful cutouts add a tactical, engineered feel—more “hardware” than “humanist”—while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, display-first sans with a modular, rounded-rectangle construction that feels contemporary and digital. Its notched details and squared bowls suggest an aim toward distinctive, system-like lettering that remains cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
The design relies on consistent corner radii and repeated rectangular counter shapes to establish a cohesive texture in text. Several glyphs use distinctive internal cutouts and stepped joins that increase character at display sizes, but also create dense dark areas in longer passages. The uppercase and numerals feel especially emblematic and logo-friendly due to their compact, emblematic silhouettes.
