A heavy, geometric sans built from squared-off, superellipse curves and broad, uniform strokes. Corners are consistently rounded, counters tend toward rectangular shapes, and many joins resolve into crisp angles rather than smooth calligraphic transitions. The lowercase keeps a tall, compact look with short ascenders and descenders, while the uppercase reads wide and blocky with strong horizontal emphasis. Several letters use open apertures and cut-in notches that create a slightly modular, near-stencil rhythm, and the numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited for logos, large headlines, posters, and packaging where its chunky geometry and notched details can be appreciated. It also fits gaming or tech UI titling, team or sports branding, and short callouts that need a strong, futuristic presence. For long-form reading, it works more as an accent face than as a primary text font.
The overall tone is bold and synthetic, evoking digital interfaces, sci‑fi hardware labeling, and performance-driven branding. Its squared-rounded geometry feels modern and engineered, with an assertive, no-nonsense voice that leans toward sporty and arcade-inspired aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, engineered look built from rounded rectangles, combining strong legibility at large sizes with a distinctive, tech-forward personality. The notches and open cuts suggest an aim to add motion and grit without leaving the geometric system.
At text sizes the tight counters and frequent rectangular interior shapes create a dense, high-impact texture, while the rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh. The distinctive cutouts and angled terminals add character but can become the dominant feature in longer passages, making the style read more display than neutral.
