A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with heavy, even strokes and soft corners throughout. Curves tend toward squarish rounds rather than perfect circles, creating broad counters and a compact, blocky silhouette. Terminals are consistently rounded, and joins are smooth and simplified, giving the letters a machined, modular feel. The lowercase shows single-story a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a wide, flattened s; the uppercase maintains sturdy, monolithic shapes with generous interior openings.
This font performs best at display sizes where its rounded-square geometry and heavy silhouettes can be appreciated—headlines, branding, product marks, posters, and packaging. It can also work for UI titles, game menus, and on-screen labels where a friendly but technical tone is desired. In longer text, its dense forms suggest using it sparingly (short lines, generous tracking, or larger sizes) to keep counters open.
The overall tone reads contemporary and tech-leaning, with a subtle retro arcade flavor. Its softened geometry keeps it approachable and playful, while the dense, engineered construction still feels utilitarian and modern. The exaggerated rounded-square rhythm adds a distinctive personality that can feel sporty, gadgety, and slightly futuristic.
The design appears intended to merge a clean geometric sans structure with a distinctive superellipse motif, producing a recognizable, modular voice. It prioritizes bold presence and consistent rounded terminals to create a cohesive system across letters and numerals, aiming for high impact and a contemporary, tech-forward personality without sharpness.
Round letters like O and Q emphasize the superellipse construction, and the Q’s tail is integrated as a clean, diagonal cut that preserves the blocky rhythm. Numerals are similarly chunky and simplified, with strong figure silhouettes suited to quick recognition. The design favors strong horizontal/vertical structure, so diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) appear crisp and emphatic against the otherwise soft-cornered system.
