A heavy, rounded sans with squared-off, superellipse-style curves and consistently softened corners. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, creating a solid, compact color in text. Counters tend toward rounded rectangles, and many terminals end in flat, blunt cuts rather than tapered finishes. Overall proportions feel slightly condensed in places, with tight internal space and a pragmatic, engineered rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short text where its heavy, rounded structure can read clearly and add personality. It works well for branding, packaging, labels, and wayfinding/signage where a sturdy, approachable voice is needed. The distinctive geometry also fits retro-tech themes for posters, album art, and product marks.
The tone is friendly and approachable while still feeling industrial and utilitarian. Its rounded-rectangle geometry evokes mid-century signage and early digital/arcade aesthetics, giving it a playful retro-tech character. The weight and soft corners make it feel sturdy rather than delicate.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, high-impact sans built from rounded-rectangle shapes, prioritizing clarity and a strong silhouette. It balances industrial solidity with softened corners to keep the overall impression approachable. The simplified, geometric construction suggests a focus on distinctive display use rather than neutral body text.
Round letters like O/Q are squarish with generous corner radii, reinforcing the superellipse construction. Some joins and diagonals show slightly irregular, hand-cut energy, which adds character at display sizes. The numerals follow the same blocky logic, staying open and legible with simplified forms.
