A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are extremely chunky, with small, sharply cut interior apertures and narrow counters that create pronounced light–dark contrast inside the glyphs. Terminals are generally squared off, often featuring small notches and stepped cut-ins that feel like functional ink-trap-like detailing rather than decorative curves. Curves (C, G, O, S) are rendered as superelliptical boxes, keeping the rhythm rigid and uniform, while verticals dominate the texture and produce a dense, compact silhouette in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where dense, punchy letterforms are an advantage. It works well for logos, packaging, and signage that benefits from an industrial or retro-tech presence. For longer passages, it will perform more reliably in short bursts (taglines, labels, UI headings) where its tight counters and heavy texture won’t overwhelm readability.
The overall tone is bold and mechanical, evoking industrial labeling and retro display typography. Its chunky forms and tight apertures project a confident, utilitarian energy with a distinctly techno/arcade edge. The rounded corners keep the voice friendly enough to avoid feeling harsh, but it remains emphatically attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a consistent rounded-rect geometry, creating a strong, modular identity that stays cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The tight apertures and small cut-ins suggest an aim to preserve character distinction within a highly compact, heavy style, prioritizing bold display presence over text neutrality.
Uppercase shapes are especially monolithic, with minimal differentiation between straight and curved strokes, which heightens the modular feel. Several letters incorporate small interior slits and corner cutaways that help define forms at large sizes but also make the font feel tightly packed in running text. Numerals match the same squared, rounded-corner logic and read best when given generous size and spacing.
