A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with soft corners and broadly squared curves throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing solid, poster-like color on the page. Counters tend toward small, squarish apertures, and joins are firm and geometric, giving letters a sturdy, machined feel. Lowercase forms are tall and compact, with simplified shapes and short extenders; the overall rhythm is tight and emphatic, especially in bold text settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where bold, geometric letterforms are meant to dominate the layout. It can work well for logos, packaging, and promotional graphics that want a sturdy, contemporary-retro tone. For extended copy, it’s more effective in short bursts—subheads, labels, and callouts—rather than dense paragraphs.
The font reads as confident and punchy, with a distinctly retro-tech and arcade-adjacent flavor. Its softened corners keep the mood friendly rather than harsh, while the dense weight and squared curves project strength and impact. Overall it feels energetic, graphic, and slightly playful—well suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, rounded-rect silhouette that remains approachable. By keeping curves squared and counters compact, it emphasizes a strong, graphic texture optimized for display use. The consistent stroke weight and simplified forms suggest a focus on clarity at large sizes and a distinctive, branded personality.
The sample text shows strong presence at display sizes, where the squared counters and rounded corners become a defining texture. In longer lines, the dense weight and tight internal spaces can make words feel packed, suggesting it performs best when given generous tracking and line spacing. Numerals match the same squared, compact construction for a consistent, sign-like voice.
