A condensed, heavy sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with straight, vertical-sided stems and tightly radiused corners. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and counters, creating a squared-off softness rather than circular forms. Terminals are blunt and uniform, crossbars are short and sturdy, and many shapes feel modular, as if assembled from consistent stroke blocks. Spacing is compact and the rhythm is vertical and punchy, with counters kept relatively small for strong silhouette contrast.
Best used for display typography where impact and compact width matter: headlines, posters, labels, and bold logotypes. Its strong vertical rhythm and squared-rounded forms also suit signage, UI headers, and any graphic system aiming for a techno/industrial voice. For longer passages, it will work most comfortably at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and mechanical, balancing hard-edged signage energy with softened corners. It reads as retro-futuristic and arcade-like—functional, bold, and a bit playful—suited to designs that want a techno or industrial accent without sharp, aggressive angles.
Likely drawn to deliver maximum presence in a tight footprint, using a consistent rounded-rectangular construction for a unified, modernist-tech look. The softened corners appear intended to keep the heavy shapes approachable and legible while maintaining a distinctly engineered, modular personality.
The design emphasizes tall proportions and simplified construction, with distinctive squared bowls and inset counters that help characters stay recognizable at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same rigid, engineered logic, contributing to a cohesive, systemized feel across mixed-case settings.
