A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms and smooth superellipse curves. Strokes are thick and even, with soft corners, broad proportions, and generally closed, rectangular counters (notably in O/D/0/8). Terminals are blunt and rounded, producing a sturdy silhouette; joins and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) read as sculpted wedges rather than sharp points. The lowercase keeps simple constructions with minimal modulation, while select letters introduce distinctive notches and cut-ins that add rhythm without breaking the overall blocky consistency.
Best suited to display applications where strong silhouettes matter: headlines, posters, branding systems, and logo work. It can also work for labels and packaging where a bold, friendly industrial tone is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels assertive and friendly at once: bold, game-like, and slightly retro-futuristic. Its rounded corners and compact counters soften the weight, giving it a playful, gadgety personality that still reads as sturdy and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive rounded-rect geometry, combining a soft-cornered look with an assertive, engineered presence. Its distinctive counters and cut-ins suggest an aim toward recognizability in branding and high-contrast display settings.
Spacing appears generous for the weight, helping the dense shapes breathe in display sizes. The numerals match the squared, rounded-rectangle logic, with particularly boxy 0/8/9 and a compact, engineered feel. The design language is highly consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing a single strong silhouette style.
