A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and most joins resolve into generous radiused corners rather than sharp angles. Counters are compact and often rectangular or pill-shaped, with apertures kept relatively tight, giving the face a solid, blocky color. The lowercase shows a tall, sturdy structure with simplified terminals and a slightly modular feel across curves and diagonals, producing a firm rhythm in text.
Best suited for headlines, display typography, branding, and short UI labels where a distinctive, high-impact voice is needed. It performs particularly well in technology, gaming, sports, and product contexts that benefit from a chunky, modern silhouette. For long-form text, it works more comfortably at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall impression is bold and synthetic, balancing softness from the rounded corners with a confident, engineered presence. Its squarish curves and compact counters create a distinctly tech-forward tone that also nods to retro arcade and sci‑fi titling traditions. Despite the mass, the forms feel friendly and game-like rather than severe.
The font appears designed to deliver a strong, contemporary display voice using a consistent superellipse construction, prioritizing bold presence and a cohesive, modular geometry. It aims for immediate recognizability and a tech-leaning character while maintaining approachable roundedness.
The design’s personality comes from the repeated use of rounded rectangular geometry across rounds, bowls, and numerals, which keeps the texture uniform and highly recognizable. Tight interior spaces and simplified detailing favor impact over delicacy, especially in smaller sizes where counters may close up.
