A compact, heavy sans with squared, rounded-rectangle construction and tightly controlled counters. Strokes stay even in weight, with corners softened into superellipse-like radii that keep the texture dense without becoming sharp. Terminals are mostly flat and horizontal/vertical, and curves resolve into boxy bowls (notably in O/C/G and the numerals), giving the alphabet a modular, engineered feel. Overall spacing and proportions create a firm, stacked rhythm that holds together strongly in all-caps and remains legible in mixed case.
Best suited for display work where impact and compactness matter: headlines, posters, logotypes, sports graphics, and bold packaging. It also fits UI-style labeling, wayfinding, and tech-themed visuals where a sturdy, engineered texture helps establish hierarchy.
The tone is forceful and functional, with a distinctly technical, industrial flavor. Its blocky geometry reads as modern and engineered, while the rounded-square forms add a subtle retro-digital vibe reminiscent of display lettering on equipment, sports graphics, or arcade-era aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rect geometry to create a cohesive, modular look. Its consistent stroke weight and compact forms prioritize clarity and punch for attention-grabbing titles and graphic systems.
The uppercase set is especially commanding and uniform, while the lowercase retains the same geometric logic, producing a consistent voice across headings and short text. Numerals follow the same squared, rounded construction, supporting interface-like labeling and scoreboard-style composition.
