A geometric, heavy sans built from mostly straight strokes and broad curves, with noticeably squared counters and rounded outer corners. Many joins taper into sharp interior notches that create an ink-trap-like bite, giving forms a cut-in, engineered look rather than smooth continuity. Bowls and rounds (C, G, O, U) are open and softly curved, while terminals are typically blunt and flat, producing a sturdy rhythm with crisp edges. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic, with single-storey a and g, a compact, angular s, and a short-armed r; numerals are similarly modular and squared, including an open, curved-top 2 and a boxy 8 with rectangular counters.
Best suited for headlines, logotypes, posters, and product or tech packaging where its constructed shapes can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for interface titles or game/UI branding elements that benefit from a futuristic, modular voice, while extended body text may feel overly stylized.
The overall tone feels sci‑fi and technical, with a retro-digital flavor reminiscent of display lettering on devices, arcade-era graphics, or industrial labeling. Its angular cut-ins and squared apertures add a slightly aggressive, mechanical character that reads as modern and purposeful rather than friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, engineered sans voice by combining geometric skeletons with purposeful cut-ins and squared counters. The consistent modular construction suggests an aim for strong recognition and a tech-forward display personality.
Distinctive interior notches and squared counters are the defining motif, repeated consistently across capitals, lowercase, and figures, which helps maintain coherence in mixed-case settings. The design leans toward display clarity and impact, with stylized shapes that can become a focal point in headlines and short lines.
