A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with broadly squared counters and softened corners throughout. Strokes are monolinear and compact, with wide proportions and generous horizontal emphasis. Many joins and terminals are cut with straight, mechanical edges, creating small notches and wedge-like cuts in letters such as S, J, K, and the diagonals, while round letters (O, Q) keep a squarish, inset-counter look. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s blocky construction, with single-storey a and g and a sturdy, squared bowl structure. Numerals follow the same modular logic, including segmented-feeling horizontals in 2, 3, 5 and a squared 0.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, and branding where strong silhouette and a techno-industrial voice are desired. It can work well for game titles, esports/team marks, product packaging, and interface labels in larger sizes where the internal cut details remain crisp.
The overall tone is futuristic and engineered, evoking control panels, sci‑fi interfaces, and performance branding. Its wide stance and chunky silhouettes feel assertive and energetic, with a subtle “cut metal” or stenciled attitude that reads as purposeful rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, modern display sans that combines rounded-square geometry with mechanical cut details for a distinctly tech-forward identity. It prioritizes silhouette strength and stylistic cohesion across caps, lowercase, and numerals for branding and title settings.
Counters are relatively tight and rectangular, giving the face strong color and impact, especially at display sizes. The distinctive internal cutouts and stepped horizontals add character but can reduce clarity at small sizes, particularly in letters with multiple breaks such as S and Z.
