A heavy, geometric sans with monoline construction and broadly rounded outer forms paired with crisp, squared terminals. The design mixes circular bowls and rounded rectangles, producing compact counters and a sturdy, even color in text. Capitals feel wide and stable with simplified curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while lowercase forms are single-storey and highly geometric, with short, squared shoulders and minimal stroke modulation. Numerals and punctuation follow the same rounded-rectilinear logic, emphasizing clear silhouettes and dense, poster-ready rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short display copy where its bold geometry and compact counters can read as intentional and graphic. It also works well for packaging, signage, and brand systems that want a friendly but engineered look.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a distinctly retro-futurist flavor. Its rounded geometry softens the weight, keeping the font friendly rather than severe, while the squared cuts and tight counters add a techy, industrial confidence.
The letterforms appear designed to balance softness and strength: rounded outer contours for approachability, combined with squared terminals and simplified construction for a modern, utilitarian presence.
The shapes lean toward constructed forms with deliberate squareness in joins and terminals, creating a consistent “machined” feel. In running text, the tight interior space and strong stems increase impact and readability at larger sizes, while smaller sizes may appear darker due to compact counters.
