A heavy, rounded-rectangle display sans with square proportions and generously radiused corners throughout. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, with counters carved as small rectangular apertures and frequent notches that create a segmented, modular feel. Curves are largely constructed from squarish bowls and superelliptical arcs, giving round letters a boxy silhouette while keeping terminals soft. Spacing and widths vary by letter, and the dense black shapes produce a compact, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where its mass and geometric personality can lead. It also fits game/tech UI titles, event graphics, and attention-grabbing labels. For longer passages, larger point sizes and generous tracking help preserve clarity.
The font reads as bold and assertive with a distinctly digital, arcade-like flavor. Its softened corners keep the tone approachable, while the chunky geometry and cut-in details add a mechanical, sci‑fi energy. Overall it balances playful retro-tech character with a sturdy industrial presence.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rect, modular construction into a bold, contemporary display voice. By combining softened corners with angular bowls and deliberate cut-ins, it aims to deliver high impact while maintaining a friendly, stylized tech aesthetic.
In running text the small counters and tight interior apertures can fill in at smaller sizes, so it visually rewards larger settings where the notches and internal cutouts remain distinct. The design’s consistent corner radius and modular construction make it especially cohesive in headlines and short phrases.
