A heavy, rounded sans with broadly geometric construction and soft, pill-like terminals. Curves are smooth and near-circular, while joins and interior corners often step into squared cut-ins, creating a subtle stencil-like, modular feel. Counters are generous and cleanly shaped (notably in O/0 and the bowls), and many forms rely on simplified, blocky gestures that keep the silhouette bold and highly legible at display sizes. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a simple vertical-stem t with a short crossbar, and overall compact, sturdy proportions.
Best suited to headlines and short passages where its bold shapes can breathe—posters, branding systems, packaging, and logo wordmarks. It also works well for event graphics and playful UI moments where a compact, high-impact display sans is desired.
The overall tone is upbeat and retro-futurist, reminiscent of mid-century display lettering and arcade-era graphics. Its rounded massing and simplified geometry read as friendly and approachable, while the squared notches add a slightly technical, constructed character.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact through rounded geometric forms and a constructed, modular detailing that differentiates it from standard grotesques. The goal seems to be a distinctive display voice that feels both nostalgic and contemporary, prioritizing strong silhouettes and immediate readability at larger sizes.
The design emphasizes strong silhouettes and consistent black weight, with distinctive cut-in notches that give several letters a customized, sign-lettering flavor. Numerals follow the same rounded geometry, with the 0 closely echoing the capital O for a cohesive set.
