A heavy, block-constructed sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and broad, squared curves. Strokes are thick and uniform, with tight, rectangular counters and frequent interior cut-ins that create a subtly stencil-like, segmented feel. Corners are consistently softened rather than sharp, giving the letters a superelliptical silhouette while maintaining a rigid, engineered structure. Numerals and capitals read as sturdy and compact, and the overall rhythm is built from wide, flat horizontals and straight-sided bowls.
Best suited to large-scale applications where its dense weight and squared forms can project impact—headlines, posters, titles, and bold branding systems. It also fits interface and entertainment contexts such as game menus, sci‑fi HUD-style graphics, and team or athletic marks where a tough, engineered voice is desired.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, leaning into a tech and industrial sensibility. Its squared, modular construction evokes retro arcade and sci‑fi interfaces, while the softened corners keep it from feeling harsh. The result is loud, confident, and performance-oriented—more “display signage” than “quiet text.”
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through a modular, rounded-rect construction, balancing hard-edged industrial structure with softened corners for approachability. Its distinctive notches and compact counters suggest a deliberate display focus aimed at memorable, high-impact typography.
Counters are small relative to the stroke weight, and several glyphs rely on notches or internal apertures for differentiation, which boosts character but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The sample text shows strong word-shape massing and a pronounced, poster-like texture, especially in dense paragraphs.
