A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and generously softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, producing compact, high-impact silhouettes with minimal contrast. Counters tend toward squarish bowls with rounded interior corners, and apertures are kept relatively open for clarity at display sizes. Terminals are blunt and flat, and curves transition with a superelliptical feel that keeps forms sturdy and uniform across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a bold, friendly geometric presence is needed. It performs especially well in short phrases, logos, and large UI/label applications where rounded, blocky forms can carry strong contrast against backgrounds.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, blending a retro, arcade-like sturdiness with a modern, tech-friendly polish. Its rounded geometry reads friendly rather than aggressive, while the dense black shapes create an energetic, attention-grabbing voice.
Likely intended as a high-impact display sans that uses rounded-rectangle geometry to feel modern and approachable while staying extremely legible at large sizes. The consistent, softened construction suggests a goal of delivering a distinctive, durable voice for branding and attention-first typography.
The design emphasizes strong, simplified interiors (notably in bowls and numerals), giving a slightly industrial, sign-paint-adjacent solidity without adding decorative flourishes. The rhythm is tight and compact, favoring punchy word shapes over delicate detail.
