A heavy, squared grotesk built from rounded-rectangle geometry with consistent stroke weight and softened corners. Counters and bowls read as superelliptical forms, while terminals are predominantly blunt, creating a modular, engineered feel. Many letters incorporate small horizontal notches and cut-ins that add a slightly stencil-like texture without breaking overall solidity. The lowercase is compact and robust, with single-storey a and g, squared dots, and tight apertures that keep word shapes dense and uniform.
Best suited for large sizes where its geometric contours and notch details remain clear—headlines, posters, packaging, team or event branding, and bold UI moments like splash screens and hero banners. It can also work for short labels and signage that benefit from compact, high-contrast letterforms, but its dense shapes and tight openings make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is mechanical and modern, with a strong retro-futurist edge. Its blocky rounds and technical cut-ins suggest machinery, hardware interfaces, and performance branding. The personality is confident and high-impact rather than subtle or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through rounded-rect geometry and a consistent, modular construction. The recurring cut-in details add a signature “engineered” texture while preserving legibility and a cohesive, system-like rhythm across letters and numbers.
Round characters like O and 0 are nearly squarish with rounded corners, and the 0 includes a centered dot for differentiation. Numerals are wide and display-oriented, matching the font’s compact, punchy rhythm. The notch motif appears repeatedly across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping unify the set into a distinctive system.
