This typeface is built from rectilinear strokes with generously rounded outer corners, creating a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle skeleton. Bowls and counters tend toward squarish forms with chamfer-like cut-ins and open apertures, giving letters a constructed, modular feel. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with crisp terminals and a largely horizontal/vertical logic punctuated by occasional diagonal joins (notably in K, V, W, X, and Z). The overall width is expansive and the spacing reads steady, producing a strong, blocky texture in lines of text.
It is best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, logos, posters, product branding, and game or tech interface graphics. The broad, modular forms remain clear at larger sizes and can add a purposeful, engineered personality to titles and signage-like applications.
The design conveys a distinctly futuristic, screen-oriented tone—mechanical, engineered, and confident. Its squared curves and chunky geometry suggest arcade, sci‑fi, and industrial interfaces rather than editorial or literary settings.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a rounded-rectangle, modular system into a cohesive alphabet that feels technological and contemporary. The emphasis on wide proportions, squared counters, and consistent stroke logic suggests an intention to prioritize visual identity and display clarity over neutral text invisibility.
Several glyphs use stylized simplifications that reinforce a display-first character (e.g., squared O/0, angular diagonals, and compact, rectilinear joins). Numerals follow the same boxy logic, helping headlines and UI-style strings look consistent.
