A heavy, geometric sans built from squared, superelliptical shapes with softened corners and deep, rectangular counters. Letters are wide and compact with short apertures, creating dense silhouettes and a sturdy rhythm across lines. Strokes are largely uniform, but the design uses strategic cut-ins, notches, and stepped terminals (especially on S, J, and some numerals) to add crisp definition and keep forms from clogging at large weights. Curves are minimized; bowls and rounds read as rounded rectangles, and joins stay blunt and architectural.
Best suited to display work where impact and presence matter: headlines, branding marks, packaging, and poster titling. The squared, techno geometry also fits gaming/UI graphics, team or event branding, and bold editorial callouts where a strong, compact texture is desired.
The font conveys a bold, engineered attitude—equal parts retro arcade and modern industrial. Its chunky geometry and clipped details feel assertive and utilitarian, suggesting strength, speed, and a slightly futuristic, game-inspired tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and a recognizable silhouette through rounded-rectangle construction, balancing compact readability with stylized cut-ins that add energy and prevent heavy strokes from collapsing into blobs. It prioritizes bold branding and attention-grabbing typography with a consistent, engineered system of forms.
Capitals have a strong, poster-like presence with simplified structures (notably the squared O/Q and the angular diagonals in N/V/W). Lowercase remains stylistically consistent—single-storey a, squared shoulders, and compact bowls—supporting set text at display sizes while maintaining a distinctive, mechanical texture. Numerals echo the same block construction, with clear, squared counters and occasional stepping at terminals for character.
