A heavy, geometric sans with a modular construction and chamfered corners that turn curves into faceted, superellipse-like shapes. Strokes are consistently thick with little apparent modulation, and counters tend to be polygonal rather than fully round, giving letters a machined, cut-out feel. The design favors broad, stable proportions and a tight, compact rhythm, with squared terminals, short joints, and simplified interior spaces that stay open but noticeably angular at corners. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, engineered silhouette, producing a uniform, poster-forward texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where strong silhouette and impact matter most. It also fits on-screen UI moments that benefit from a retro-tech or arcade aesthetic (titles, menus, badges), and works well for emphatic labels and short statements at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and synthetic, evoking retro digital signage, arcade interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its faceted rounding reads as technical and constructed rather than friendly, conveying strength and a game-like, sci‑fi energy.
The typeface appears designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a distinctive faceted geometry, translating rounded forms into chamfered, superellipse-like shapes for a technical, futuristic voice. The consistent, modular detailing suggests an intention to remain highly recognizable and cohesive across letters and numerals in bold display use.
The stepped chamfers and polygonal bowls are especially prominent in rounded letters and numerals, which reinforces a consistent ‘cut from a template’ look across the set. In text, the dark color and tight internal geometry create a dense, high-impact word shape that prioritizes presence over delicate detail.
