A heavy, block-constructed sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry throughout. Corners are broadly filleted, counters tend to be rectangular, and curves resolve into soft squarish arcs rather than circles. Strokes stay uniform, terminals are mostly flat, and many forms use cut-in notches and squared apertures that create a crisp, engineered rhythm. The lowercase is compact with a large x-height, short ascenders/descenders, and wide, sturdy joins; figures and capitals echo the same boxy, modular construction for strong cross-set consistency.
Best suited to display applications where a strong, technical tone is desired: logos and wordmarks, bold headlines, posters, packaging, and on-screen UI labels in games or product interfaces. It performs especially well in short strings where its compact, geometric shapes can read cleanly and confidently.
The design reads as assertive and synthetic, with a distinctly sci‑fi/technology flavor. Its rounded-square construction feels like hardware UI lettering, arcade cabinet graphics, or aerospace branding—confident, functional, and slightly retro-futurist.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a robust, futuristic sans built from rounded-square primitives, emphasizing consistency, impact, and a machine-made feel. The design prioritizes a firm silhouette and modular rhythm that stays cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The squarish counters (notably in O/0 and similar forms) and frequent horizontal cut-ins add a stencil-like, machined personality without breaking the solid silhouette. The overall texture is dense and impactful, staying legible at display sizes while maintaining a consistent, modular voice across letters and numerals.
