This typeface uses compact, vertical proportions and a geometric construction built from rounded-rectangle curves and straight stems. Corners are consistently softened, with squared counters and superelliptical bowls that create a clean, modular rhythm across letters and numerals. Stroke endings are crisp and often slightly flared or tapered, giving some glyphs a blade-like finish while keeping overall shapes blocky and controlled. The lowercase is simplified and sturdy, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and tightly drawn apertures that keep forms compact and graphic.
Best suited for display applications where its geometric character can be appreciated: posters, headlines, logotypes, packaging, and product/tech branding. It can also work for signage or interface labels when set with generous size and spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and machine-made, reminiscent of sci‑fi titles, arcade-era graphics, and industrial labeling. Its mix of squared curves and sharp terminals adds a slightly aggressive, engineered attitude while remaining clean and legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive geometric voice built from superelliptical, rounded-rectangle parts, balancing a streamlined techno look with a strong, compact footprint for impactful display typography.
The numerals and caps are especially strong, with consistent squared counters and rounded corners that read well in short strings. The tight apertures and compact interior space suggest better performance in larger settings than in dense body copy.
