A heavy, rounded sans built from squarish superellipse forms, with softly radiused corners and largely uniform stroke weight. The uppercase is broad and stable, with rounded-rectangle bowls (B, D, O, P) and flattened curves that keep counters compact and rectangular. Lowercase follows the same geometry with a single-storey a and g, short, sturdy terminals, and simple, upright construction; i and j use square-ish dots. Numerals are similarly wide and robust, with closed, rounded-rectangular shapes and minimal internal detail, emphasizing solidity over delicacy.
Best suited to display typography where width, weight, and rounded geometry can carry the message—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and high-impact signage. It also fits UI or product contexts that want a friendly, industrial feel, especially in titles, buttons, and short navigational labels.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a friendly softness from the rounding with a distinctly engineered, gadget-like precision. Its chunky, compressed counters and squared curves evoke a retro-digital or arcade sensibility while still reading clean and contemporary.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a softened, approachable edge: a geometric, rounded-rectangle construction that reads as modern and technical while avoiding sharpness. Its consistent, simplified forms prioritize bold legibility and a distinctive, characterful rhythm in display settings.
The design relies on consistent corner radii and broad horizontal mass, producing strong silhouette recognition at larger sizes. Tight apertures and compact internal spaces suggest it will feel denser in long strings, while remaining highly impactful in short headlines and labels.
