A heavy, rounded-rectangular sans with a distinctly squared skeleton and generously softened corners. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and counters, while terminals tend to be flat and blunt, producing a crisp, machined silhouette. Proportions lean broad and stable, with large apertures and counters that keep letters open despite the weight. The lowercase uses single-storey forms (notably a and g), and the numerals echo the same rounded-square construction for a cohesive, modular rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold brand marks where the squared-rounded geometry can carry the visual identity. It can work well for signage, packaging, and short UI labels—especially in tech, gaming, or consumer electronics contexts—where a sturdy, approachable sans is desired.
The overall tone feels contemporary and utilitarian with a friendly edge—like modern wayfinding or product UI that aims to be approachable rather than austere. Its rounded corners soften the impact of the dense strokes, giving it a playful, game/tech flavor while still reading as robust and confident.
The font appears designed to merge geometric rigor with softened corners, creating a durable display sans that feels modern and product-oriented. Its consistent rounded-square construction suggests an intention to deliver strong presence and high recognizability in branding and titling.
The design emphasizes consistent corner radii and rectangular joins, which creates a strong grid-like cadence in words and makes the shapes feel engineered. At larger sizes the distinctive squarish rounds become a key stylistic feature, while at smaller sizes the weight and tight interior details may call for ample spacing.
