A heavy, block-based sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes stay consistently thick with tight interior counters and a compact, slightly condensed feel in many letters, while widths vary noticeably across the set. Curves are rendered as squarish bowls and superelliptical arcs, producing a geometric rhythm with firm verticals and broad, flat terminals. Joins are generally smooth and padded rather than sharp, giving the design a monoline, engineered look even in complex forms like S, g, and 2–9.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, poster titling, logos, packaging callouts, and signage where strong silhouette and high impact are priorities. It also fits UI or game/tech-themed graphics for short labels, buttons, and section headers, especially when a retro-futuristic or industrial mood is desired.
The overall tone is industrial and retro-tech, evoking machinery labeling, arcade-era display typography, and sci‑fi interface text. Its rounded block shapes keep it friendly and approachable despite the weight, creating a bold, confident voice that reads as both utilitarian and playful.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rect, modular geometry into a bold, attention-grabbing sans that remains friendly through softened corners. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a consistent constructed system over delicate detail, aiming for clear impact in branding and display typography.
The dense weight and compact counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the distinctive squared curves and modular rhythm are most visible. Numerals and capitals share the same rounded-rect geometry, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like feel across headlines and short strings.
