A heavy, rounded sans built from squared-off curves and superellipse-like bowls. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness with smooth, generously radiused corners and mostly flat terminals, producing a sturdy, compact texture. The uppercase is wide-shouldered and blocky (notably in E/F/T), while round letters like O/C/G keep a rounded-rectangle silhouette rather than a pure circle. Lowercase forms are simplified and geometric, with single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and broad counters that stay open at display sizes. Numerals follow the same softened-rectilinear logic, with compact, punchy shapes and clear interior apertures.
Best suited for headlines, wordmarks, and short bursts of copy where its chunky, rounded structure can deliver strong presence. It also fits packaging, posters, and signage, and can work well for UI labels or buttons when you want a friendly, tech-forward feel. For longer paragraphs, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with ample spacing.
The overall tone feels modern and gadget-like, with a playful softness that keeps it approachable. Its rounded-rect geometry suggests signage, UI labeling, and tech branding, while the chunky weight and compact rhythm add a slightly retro, arcade-adjacent confidence.
The font appears designed to combine strong display impact with a softened, approachable geometry. By using rounded-rectangle construction and consistent stroke weight, it aims for high legibility at a glance while projecting a contemporary, product-friendly personality.
The design leans on squared curves throughout, creating a consistent “soft block” motif across letters and figures. In text settings it reads as dense and emphatic, with distinct silhouettes that prioritize impact over delicate detail.
