A heavy, geometric sans with squared, superellipse-based outlines and consistently rounded corners. The strokes are uniform and blocky, with compact, rectangular counters (notably in O, D, P, and R) and short apertures that keep forms dense. Diagonals are crisp and engineered, while curves resolve into soft radii rather than true circles, creating a sturdy, machined rhythm. Lowercase follows the same modular logic, with simplified bowls and terminals and a generally compact, sturdy build.
Best suited to display roles where impact and a technical voice are desired—headlines, branding, product marks, packaging, and large-format signage. It also fits UI/title treatments for games or sci‑fi themes, and short labels where a dense, engineered look helps establish a strong visual identity.
The overall tone feels futuristic and utilitarian, leaning toward sci‑fi interfaces and industrial labeling. Its broad stance and squared rounding read as modern and performance-oriented, with an unmistakable arcade/tech flavor that signals speed, equipment, and hardware.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a bold, contemporary sans that feels engineered and modular. By keeping counters tight and corners consistently radiused, it aims for high visual solidity and a distinctive, tech-forward presence in display typography.
At text sizes the tight counters and closed apertures can darken the texture, while at display sizes the rounded-rectangle construction becomes a distinctive signature. Numerals match the same squared geometry, with an especially boxy zero and compact internal spaces across the set.
