A heavy, rounded sans with compact apertures, softened corners, and subtly flared terminals that give strokes a molded, almost cut-out feel. Curves are broad and squarish (notably in C, O, S, and the numerals), while verticals stay sturdy and consistent, producing a dense texture in text. Joins and counters often show small pinches or notch-like shaping, creating an ink-trap-like detail that adds character and helps forms stay distinct at display sizes. Lowercase letters are simple and geometric, with single-storey a and g and short, sturdy ascenders and descenders that keep the overall silhouette tight.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where its sculpted terminals and compact counters can read as intentional style. It works well in logos, product names, posters, packaging, and brand systems that want a retro-tech or playful industrial tone. For long paragraphs, the tight apertures suggest using generous size and spacing to maintain clarity.
The font reads as retro-modern and approachable, combining a playful, chunky rhythm with a slightly industrial, sci‑fi edge. Its softened geometry and flared endings keep it friendly, while the tight apertures and sculpted joins introduce a distinctive, engineered personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive display sans that balances geometric simplicity with crafted, flared stroke endings and notch-like shaping for personality. It aims to feel contemporary yet nostalgic, emphasizing strong silhouettes, tight rhythm, and high impact in branding and titling contexts.
Distinctive features include the narrow, vertical-oval counters (especially in O/0/8), the compact, arched shoulders in n/m, and a curved, hooked feel in several terminals (such as J, r, and y). Numerals follow the same rounded, compressed logic, with a smooth, stylized 2 and a sturdy, looped 9.
