A heavy, block-based sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and uniform, with compact internal counters and rectangular apertures that create a dense, high-impact texture. Many joins and terminals are cut with small notches or stepped insets, giving the outlines a modular, machined feel. Uppercase and lowercase share a similar geometric logic, with simplified curves and squarish bowls that keep the silhouette stable in display sizes.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing settings such as headlines, posters, logos, and branding where strong silhouettes matter. It also fits interface-like applications—game UI, titles, badges, and product packaging—where a retro-tech, industrial tone is desired.
The overall tone is bold and mechanical, evoking retro digital hardware, arcade graphics, and sci‑fi interface lettering. Its wide, squared forms read confident and forceful, with an intentionally stylized, constructed personality rather than a neutral text voice.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a punchy display alphabet, balancing softened corners with engineered notches to suggest a digital or fabricated aesthetic. It prioritizes visual impact and thematic character over prolonged readability in small text.
The tight counters and deep inking make spacing and word shapes feel compact and chunky, especially in longer lines. Numerals match the same squared, notched design language, supporting a cohesive, system-like appearance across alphanumerics.
