A chunky, rounded sans with superellipse-inspired bowls and softly squared corners throughout. Strokes are monoline and heavy, producing compact counters and a strong, poster-like color on the page. Curves transition into straights with smooth, engineered joins, and terminals tend to be flat with generous rounding rather than sharp cuts. The overall rhythm is tight and even, with rounded rectangles shaping letters like O, C, D, and G, and similarly softened construction in numerals and punctuation.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display copy where its heavy, rounded shapes can read clearly and project personality. It works well for branding systems that want a friendly, retro-technical feel, as well as packaging, signage, and UI moments like section headers or feature callouts where a compact, sturdy texture is desirable.
The tone is upbeat and approachable while still feeling solid and dependable. Its rounded geometry and compact counters suggest a retro-tech and mid-century display sensibility, giving text a friendly, game-like character without becoming whimsical or handwritten.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical display sans: soft-edged, highly legible at large sizes, and visually consistent across letters and digits. Its compact counters and monoline weight emphasize impact and uniformity, aiming for a recognizable, approachable voice in graphic applications.
Distinctive superellipse geometry shows most clearly in round letters and digits, where bowls feel squarish rather than purely circular. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey forms and short, thick arms that keep word shapes bold and highly graphic at larger sizes.
