A wide, squarish display serif with low-contrast strokes and a strongly engineered, modular feel. Letterforms are built from straight segments and rounded-square curves, with many counters and bowls taking on rectangular, softened-corner shapes. Serifs read as small flares and wedge-like terminals rather than slabs, often paired with crisp cut-ins and notch details that resemble ink traps. The rhythm is sturdy and even, with broad proportions, compact apertures, and a tall x-height that keeps lowercase prominent beside the uppercase and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, short titles, and brand marks where its wide stance and squared detailing can read clearly at larger sizes. It works well for entertainment and tech-adjacent design—game/arcade aesthetics, sci-fi packaging, event posters, and identity systems—especially when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is futuristic and technical, combining a retro arcade vibe with a slightly ornamental, emblem-like sharpness. Its squared geometry and deliberate notches suggest machinery, interfaces, or sci-fi titling rather than traditional book typography.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif signifiers with a contemporary, screen-oriented geometry, producing a decorative serif that feels engineered and modern. Its consistent rounded-rect construction and terminal notches aim to create a distinctive, high-impact voice for display typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent squared construction, while select letters introduce distinctive terminal shapes (notably in forms like J, Q, and the lowercases with descenders), adding personality without breaking the system. Numerals match the same rectilinear, rounded-corner logic, keeping mixed alphanumeric settings cohesive.
