A heavy, rounded sans with softened corners and a sculpted, slightly modular construction. Strokes stay robust throughout, with subtle optical corrections and squared-off terminals that read as gently chamfered rather than fully circular. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, producing a dense, solid texture in text. Curves are controlled and somewhat geometric, while joins and shoulders show a mild, stylized flare that adds character without becoming decorative.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where its chunky shapes can carry personality. It also works well for signage and UI/title treatments that want a retro-tech flavor and strong presence. For paragraphs, it performs better in shorter blocks or larger sizes where the compact counters remain clear.
The overall tone feels retro-futuristic and playful, with a confident, friendly sturdiness. Its chunky silhouettes and softened geometry evoke display lettering from mid-century signage and arcade-era graphics, while still reading clean and contemporary. The voice is bold and approachable rather than formal or minimal.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, display-forward sans that blends geometric structure with softened, approachable corners. Its consistent weight and compact internal shapes prioritize impact and recognizability, aiming for a memorable, retro-leaning voice that stays readable in modern applications.
Uppercase forms maintain a consistent, rounded-rectangular rhythm, and the lowercase keeps the same stout DNA for a cohesive typographic color. Numerals follow the same squarish, softened construction, supporting strong legibility at display sizes and in short text bursts. The tight internal spaces mean it benefits from generous spacing and moderate sizes when used for longer lines.
