A heavy, geometric sans with squared proportions, rounded outer corners, and frequent chamfered cuts on joins and terminals. Letterforms are built from thick, rectilinear strokes with clearly defined counters that often read as rectangular apertures, giving a punched or panel-cut feel. Curves are minimized into softened corners, and many diagonals appear as clipped angles rather than smooth arcs, creating a mechanical rhythm. Spacing and sidebearings feel sturdy and consistent, supporting tight, modular word shapes at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where bold, modular shapes can read clearly: headlines, posters, branding marks, product packaging, and tech or gaming interfaces. It can also work for short labels and signage-style applications where a tough, engineered look is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and machine-made, with a retro-futuristic flavor reminiscent of arcade UI, sci‑fi hardware labeling, and industrial signage. Its block construction and cut corners convey strength, precision, and a slightly playful “techno” energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, geometric voice with a manufactured aesthetic—combining softened corners for friendliness with chamfered cuts for a technical edge. Its consistent, block-built construction suggests a focus on distinctive wordmarks and attention-grabbing display text.
Distinctive notches and squared counters create strong internal texture, especially in letters like G, S, and R, while the simplified geometry keeps the alphabet cohesive. The numerals follow the same panel-cut logic, yielding highly uniform, sign-like figures that prioritize impact over subtlety.
