A heavy, squared display sans built from rounded-rectangle forms and softened corners. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with tight, rectangular counters and frequent notch-like cut-ins that create a mechanically carved feel. Curves resolve into broad superellipse arcs rather than true circles, giving bowls and rounds a sturdy, flattened geometry. The rhythm is dense and emphatic, with compact interior space and strongly simplified joins that keep the silhouettes bold and legible at large sizes.
Best suited for large-scale applications where its mass and angular rounding can read clearly: headlines, posters, title cards, esports or sports marks, and tech/game interface accents. It also works well for short, punchy labels and packaging callouts where an industrial, machined voice is desired.
The font reads as tough and utilitarian, with a retro-digital edge. Its chunky geometry and engineered cutouts evoke arcade cabinets, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial labeling. Overall tone is assertive and functional rather than elegant or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, engineered silhouette—combining rounded-rect geometry with deliberate notches to signal a technical, industrial, or retro-futuristic aesthetic while maintaining straightforward sans readability in display contexts.
Numerals and caps share the same squared, softened construction, supporting a consistent headline texture. Several glyphs rely on internal cutouts and small apertures, which can fill in at very small sizes but add character and differentiation in display settings.
