A geometric display face built from straight strokes and rounded-rectangle curves, with a predominantly monoline skeleton and occasional wedge-like terminals. Corners are consistently softened, producing squarish bowls in letters like O, D, and P, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y stay crisp and angular. The uppercase set reads tall and clean, with simplified construction and open counters; the lowercase echoes the same boxy logic with single-storey a and g and a compact, engineered rhythm. Figures are similarly geometric, using squared contours and minimal modulation, giving the set a cohesive, grid-friendly look.
Best suited for short, prominent settings where its geometric quirks can read as intentional personality: headlines, poster titling, branding marks, packaging callouts, and tech-leaning UI accents such as game menus or dashboard-style graphics. It can work in brief subheads or labels, but its stylized rhythm is strongest at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels playful and slightly offbeat, like a sci‑fi or arcade interface filtered through a retro industrial aesthetic. Its rigid geometry suggests precision and technology, while the softened corners and unconventional details add a wry, experimental character.
The design appears intended to merge a clean, modular construction with distinctive, unexpected details, creating a futuristic-but-fun display voice. It prioritizes bold, easily recognizable silhouettes and a consistent squared geometry to deliver character quickly in branding and titling contexts.
Several glyphs lean into stylized idiosyncrasies—most noticeably the angular zigzag in W/w and the sharp, asymmetric energy in V/X—adding novelty without breaking the underlying squared system. Spacing and letterfit look display-oriented, favoring clear silhouettes over continuous text smoothness.
