A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a distinctly squared-off curve language. Strokes are consistently thick with softened corners, and bowls tend toward rounded-rectangle forms rather than pure circles. Apertures are relatively tight and counters are compact, giving the letters a solid, weighty presence. The lowercase shows tall ascenders and simple, sturdy constructions, while figures and capitals maintain the same blunt, superellipse rhythm across curves and joins.
Best suited to headlines, large-format copy, and identity work where its broad, rounded geometry can read clearly and project personality. It can work well for packaging, signage, and UI marketing moments that want a warm, contemporary tech feel, while longer text blocks may feel dense due to the tight apertures and compact counters.
The overall tone feels approachable and upbeat, with a retro-futuristic confidence. Its soft corners and blocky geometry read as friendly and modern at the same time, leaning toward a consumer-tech and pop display mood rather than a neutral text voice.
The design appears intended to blend geometric clarity with softened, approachable forms, using rounded-rectangle curves and hefty strokes to create a distinctive display voice. It aims for strong impact, easy recognition, and a contemporary-retro aesthetic that remains clean and systematic.
Terminals are generally flat and blunt, with minimal tapering, which reinforces a manufactured, engineered feel. The set appears designed to hold shape at larger sizes where the compact counters and tight openings become part of the personality.
