A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with broad bowls, compact apertures, and a distinctly squared rhythm. Corners are frequently chamfered into crisp wedges, creating pointed joins and notched terminals that add a mechanical, cut-metal feel. Strokes maintain an even, low-contrast weight, while counters tend to be rectangular or softly squared, giving the alphabet a modular, display-first structure. Spacing and proportions read slightly compact, with sturdy verticals and simplified curves designed for strong silhouette clarity.
Best suited to headlines, titles, logos, and branding where a strong geometric voice is desired. It works especially well for sci‑fi, gaming, tech products, event posters, and packaging that benefits from a compact, high-impact display style. For long text or small sizes, the tight apertures and dense forms may reduce readability compared to more open grotesques.
The overall tone feels futuristic and industrial, with a retro arcade/techno flavor driven by the rounded-square geometry and sharp cut-ins. It conveys a sense of engineered precision—bold, confident, and slightly playful in a sci‑fi way.
The design appears intended to merge rounded-square construction with sharp, chamfered detailing to create a distinctive, futuristic display sans. The consistent modular geometry suggests an aim for cohesive branding across letters and numerals with a strong, immediately recognizable silhouette.
Diagonal letters and terminals often resolve into angular facets rather than smooth curves, which increases sparkle at large sizes but can tighten internal whitespace in dense settings. The numerals follow the same rounded-square logic, keeping a cohesive, system-like appearance across alphanumerics.
