A heavy, geometric sans with squared proportions softened by generous corner rounding. Strokes are largely monolinear in feel but show subtle contrast through angled joins and stepped terminals, producing a machined, cut-out rhythm. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and many curves resolve into flattened bowls and chamfered corners. The lowercase is sturdy and blocky, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and short, wide apertures that maintain a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited for display applications where strong presence and a futuristic/industrial voice are desired, such as headlines, posters, branding marks, product packaging, and entertainment or game interfaces. It can work for short bursts of text, but the dense counters and heavy color favor larger sizes and tighter messaging over long-form reading.
The overall tone is industrial and techno-forward, evoking arcade UI, sci‑fi labeling, and engineered signage. Its squared forms and clipped terminals feel functional and assertive, while the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, machine-cut aesthetic with geometric clarity and distinctive notched terminals, creating a memorable techno display voice that remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Distinctive details include notched/stepped terminals on several letters, a squared “O/0” construction, and a prominent, angular “W” and “V” that read as engineered shapes. Numerals match the blocky construction, with bold, simplified silhouettes designed for quick recognition at display sizes.
