A rounded, geometric display face built from squared bowls and soft-cornered rectangles, with mostly monoline strokes and occasional flared or tapered terminals. The glyph construction feels modular: counters are boxy, curves are simplified into quarter-round corners, and many letters rely on open forms and cut-in joins that create a slightly “assembled” look. Proportions run wide with a tall lowercase, and the rhythm varies as some characters narrow or expand, adding an intentionally uneven, custom-drawn cadence. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect architecture, favoring simple, legible silhouettes over traditional serif or humanist detailing.
Best suited to headlines, logos, posters, and short display copy where its geometric quirks can lead the design. It also fits game UI, tech or sci‑fi packaging, and event graphics that want a retro-futurist flavor. For long-form text, its strong personality and variable rhythm are more effective as accents than as a primary reading face.
The overall tone is futuristic and playful, evoking retro digital interfaces, arcade graphics, and sci‑fi titling. Its odd little asymmetries and unconventional joins give it a quirky, experimental personality that reads as intentionally offbeat rather than strictly utilitarian.
The design appears intended as an experimental, retro-futuristic display font that prioritizes distinctive silhouette and modular construction over classical typographic norms. It aims to feel technological and handmade at the same time, using consistent rounded-rect geometry plus selective oddities to keep the alphabet memorable.
Distinctive letterforms—such as the open, U-shaped lowercase and the sharp, pronged diagonals in characters like V/W—create strong visual hooks, but also increase stylistic presence. The design’s simplified geometry and squared counters maintain clarity at larger sizes, while the irregular spacing and character width changes can become a feature rather than a flaw in expressive settings.
