A chunky, geometric sans with squarish proportions and heavily rounded corners. Strokes are broadly rectangular with selective thinning and occasional tapered joins, creating a punchy, engineered rhythm rather than a uniform monoline feel. Counters tend to be compact and rectangular/oval, and several forms use open or slotted apertures that read almost stencil-like at larger sizes. The overall construction favors bold blocks, softened edges, and a slightly modular, cut-from-solid look.
Best suited to display settings where its bold, sculpted shapes can be appreciated: posters, headlines, logos, product packaging, game/tech branding, and UI/UX titles or badges. It can work for short bursts of text, but its strong internal cut-ins and compact counters will be most legible when given ample size and spacing.
The font projects a techno-retro attitude—part arcade, part industrial labeling—while the rounded corners keep it friendly and approachable. Its exaggerated shapes and distinctive internal cut-ins give it a quirky, attention-grabbing voice that feels designed for display rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to blend geometric solidity with a stylized, cutout construction, creating instant recognizability and a futuristic-industrial flavor. It prioritizes distinctive silhouettes and word-image presence over neutrality, aiming to stand out in branding and titling contexts.
Many glyphs feature signature interior notches and open joins (notably in letters like S, J, and some lowercase forms), which become defining identifiers in words. The digit set follows the same blocky logic with simplified, sign-like silhouettes, emphasizing immediacy and impact.
