A squarish, geometric sans with heavy strokes and prominently rounded corners that soften an otherwise rigid, modular structure. Bowls and counters tend toward rectangular forms, with squared curves and consistent radii creating a manufactured, machined rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, and several letters show small cut-ins or notches that read as pseudo-stencil detailing, enhancing the constructed feel. The lowercase is straightforward and compact, while the figures share the same boxy geometry for a cohesive, display-forward set.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, product packaging, and punchy branding where the geometric, rounded-square forms can be a focal point. It also fits UI/tech-themed graphics, games, and event titles that benefit from a retro-futuristic, playful voice.
The overall tone feels playful and tech-leaning, like a retro-future interface or arcade-era signage. Its rounded-square geometry gives it a friendly personality, while the occasional cuts and tight apertures add a quirky, experimental edge. The result is energetic and slightly offbeat rather than neutral or editorial.
The design appears intended to blend rigid, modular geometry with softened corners and a few deliberate irregularities, producing a distinctive one-off display texture. It prioritizes recognizability and character in short runs over neutrality in extended reading.
Spacing and silhouette consistency emphasize blocky shapes and clear massing over delicate interior detail, so small sizes may feel dense where apertures narrow. The design reads best when allowed room to show its distinctive corner rounding and angular construction.
