A heavy, geometric sans built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) forms. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, with large, boxy counters and corners softened by consistent radiusing rather than true circles. Terminals are flat and abrupt, creating a compact, engineered rhythm; several joins and notches introduce a subtle cut-out/stencil feel in places. The overall silhouette reads crisp and modular, with strong horizontals/verticals and minimal optical variation.
Works best for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, product packaging, and on-screen UI elements for games or tech. It can also serve for labels and signage where a compact, industrial look is desired.
The tone is bold and machine-made, evoking digital interfaces, arcade lettering, and industrial labeling. Its squared curves and chunky spacing give it a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels modern and slightly retro-futuristic at the same time.
The font appears intended to deliver a sturdy, modular display voice: a geometric, softened-rectangle construction that remains friendly at the corners while staying unmistakably technical and bold.
The design favors legibility through large interior spaces and simplified construction, but its distinctive squared bowls and occasional notch-like details make it more suited to display than extended text. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, staying blocky and highly graphic.
