A chunky geometric sans with softened corners and a squarish, octagonal construction throughout. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal modulation, and many curves resolve into faceted angles rather than smooth bowls, giving letters a cut-from-blocks feel. Terminals are rounded and blunt, counters tend to be compact, and joins are sturdy, producing a dense texture and strong silhouette. The overall rhythm is steady and even, with simplified forms and distinctive angular curves in characters like C, G, O, and S.
Best suited to display settings where strong shapes and characterful geometry are assets: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and on-screen UI elements for games or tech-themed projects. Its heavy, compact texture holds up well at medium-to-large sizes, while the distinctive faceting helps maintain personality in short phrases and labels.
The faceted geometry and rounded terminals create a playful, arcade-adjacent tone that feels technical without becoming cold. It reads as futuristic and gadgety, with a friendly, toy-like robustness that suits bold, attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to merge a rounded, approachable feel with a structured, engineered geometry. By replacing smooth curves with softened facets and keeping stroke weight consistent, it aims for high-impact legibility and a recognizable, retro-tech signature.
Figures and round letters share the same octagonal logic, making O/0 and 8/9 feel emblematic and icon-like. The lowercase keeps the same blocky vocabulary, and the overall set favors clarity through simplified structures rather than delicate detail.
