A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes read as largely uniform in thickness, with tight apertures and squared-off terminals that keep counters small and shapes dense. Curves in letters like C, O, and S are drawn as superelliptical arcs rather than true circles, giving a sturdy, machined rhythm. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with short extenders and a single-storey a; numerals share the same compact, rounded-block geometry for a cohesive texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short, punchy messaging where a dense, rounded-block silhouette can carry the composition. It also fits packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks that want a retro-industrial or sporty presence, and works well in UI or signage accents when used at display sizes.
The overall tone is bold and self-assured, with a distinctly retro-industrial flavor. Its rounded corners soften the mass, adding a friendly, game-like energy while still feeling strong and utilitarian.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a rounded-rectangle, superellipse-based geometry into an approachable but forceful display voice. The intent seems to prioritize strong silhouette recognition, compact rhythm, and a cohesive, modular feel across letters and numerals.
The design favors closed forms and minimal contrast, producing a dark, even typographic color in text. Narrow internal spaces and tight joins make it most impactful at larger sizes where the rounded-rect geometry is clearly visible.
