A heavy, geometric sans with squared construction and generously rounded outer corners. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear in feel, with subtle contrast appearing where joins and terminals pinch or open up. Counters tend toward rectangular forms, and many letters use simplified, modular geometry with short horizontal bars and squared bowls. The overall texture is compact and dark, with tight apertures and a deliberately engineered rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to large-scale settings where its dense weight and squared counters can read clearly—such as poster titles, product marks, packaging panels, and bold brand wordmarks. It also fits UI-style graphics, event promotion, esports or sportswear looks, and tech-themed editorial callouts where a futuristic, constructed voice is desired.
The font conveys a retro-futurist, tech-interface tone—confident, machine-like, and slightly playful in a video-game or sci‑fi way. Its chunky, rounded-rectangle shapes read as sturdy and synthetic rather than humanist, giving headlines a bold, industrial energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary display voice built from modular, rounded-square forms—prioritizing impact, consistency, and a tech-forward personality over delicate detailing. Its simplified geometry and tight apertures suggest it was drawn to feel engineered and logo-friendly while remaining legible in short bursts of text.
Distinctive details include squared bowls on letters like O/D/P and a single-storey a with a compact counter. The S and Z are constructed with flattened curves and strong horizontals, while diagonals (K, X) keep the same blocky logic. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, creating a cohesive, display-oriented set.
