A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are largely uniform, producing a sturdy, monoline feel, while counters tend toward squarish superellipse shapes (notably in O/0 and D). Many glyphs show deliberate openings and cut-ins that read as stencil-like notches, creating a segmented rhythm without becoming fully broken. Curves are minimal and controlled; terminals are blunt, and proportions feel compact with a slightly squared, engineered silhouette across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited for bold headlines, posters, and branding systems that need a strong geometric presence. It also fits UI titling, game menus, and tech/industrial packaging where squared, rounded-rect letterforms and a sturdy monoline texture help create a clear, mechanical identity.
The font projects a tech-forward, industrial tone—clean, robust, and instrument-like. Its squared curves and intentional cut details evoke digital interfaces, machinery labeling, and retro sci-fi graphics, giving text a confident, utilitarian voice with a subtle futuristic edge.
The design appears intended to merge friendly rounded corners with a rigid, modular structure, yielding a contemporary display sans that feels engineered rather than humanist. The stencil-like cut-ins add personality and differentiation while keeping the overall forms simple, bold, and highly graphic.
Readability is strongest at display sizes where the distinctive notches and squarish counters are clearly resolved; at smaller sizes those interior cut details may visually merge. Numerals match the letterforms’ rounded-rect geometry, with a particularly boxy 0 and angular, modular shaping in 2 and 7 that reinforces the engineered aesthetic.
