A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms with softened corners and flat terminals. Strokes are monoline and compact, with squared counters and frequent stencil-like breaks that carve horizontal or rectangular notches into bowls and bars. The proportions emphasize broad footprints and a strong, even color, while the lowercase maintains a large, sturdy presence relative to capitals. Overall rhythm is modular and grid-like, with angular joins on diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Z) contrasted by consistently rounded outer corners.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, game interfaces, and bold product or packaging callouts. It also works well for tech branding, sports or esports graphics, and signage-style compositions where a solid, uniform typographic block is desired.
The design reads as futuristic and game-adjacent, evoking arcade UI, sci-fi titling, and industrial labeling. Its chunky geometry and deliberate cut-ins give it a tough, mechanical attitude while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than aggressive.
The font appears designed to deliver a strong, contemporary display voice using a modular superellipse construction and distinctive stencil-like cutouts. The goal seems to be a compact, high-contrast-in-silhouette word shape that feels engineered and digital while remaining cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Legibility is strongest at display sizes where the internal notches and segmented counters remain distinct; at small sizes those details may fill in visually. Numerals and capitals share the same squared, engineered logic, producing a cohesive, emblematic texture in headings.
