A heavy, monoline sans built from squared-off, superellipse-like shapes with generously rounded outer corners and mostly rectangular counters. Strokes terminate in flat, blunt ends, and curves are handled as softened rectangles rather than true circles, giving letters a machined, modular feel. Proportions lean compact with tight apertures and small internal spaces in many glyphs, while the overall rhythm stays consistent and grid-friendly. Numerals and capitals share the same chunky, engineered geometry, with distinctive cut-ins and notches that add angular detail without breaking the uniform stroke weight.
Best suited for headlines, branding marks, and short statements where its bold, modular silhouettes can read clearly and set a strong tone. It also fits UI labels, game/arcade graphics, and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, engineered look. For extended text, larger sizes and generous spacing help preserve clarity.
The font projects a bold, industrial confidence with a distinctly retro-futuristic flavor. Its rounded-rectangle geometry reads as techy and game-like, suggesting arcade, sci‑fi UI, or utilitarian hardware labeling. The chunky silhouettes also add a playful, toy-block energy when used at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rectangular, industrial form language into a compact display sans that feels both retro and contemporary. Its consistent stroke weight and softened corners emphasize solidity and reproducibility, aiming for high impact and a distinctive, system-like personality.
The dense counters and narrowed openings can darken quickly in long passages, especially in the lowercase, where several forms rely on tight interior cutouts for differentiation. The punctuation and figures inherit the same squared, softened construction, keeping the voice consistent across display settings.
