A heavy, rounded sans with monoline strokes and smooth, circular geometry throughout. Terminals are consistently softened, with broad curves and generous counters that keep the dark weight open and legible. The design leans on simple constructed shapes—round bowls, arced shoulders, and straight verticals—creating a steady rhythm that feels both engineered and approachable. Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy, while the lowercase shows more personality in letters like a, g, and y, which use simplified, single-storey constructions.
Best suited for headlines and short to medium display text where its bold, rounded forms can show clearly. It works well for branding, posters, packaging, and wayfinding/signage that benefits from a friendly geometric voice and strong presence.
The overall tone is friendly and upbeat, with a distinctly retro-futurist flavor. Its rounded construction and chunky presence read as playful and approachable, while the clean geometry adds a mild tech and signage feel.
The design appears intended to deliver an approachable geometric look with a playful, modern-retro personality, emphasizing smooth roundness and consistent stroke weight for strong impact and clean readability in display applications.
Curves dominate the texture, and joins are kept smooth rather than sharp, which helps the font maintain clarity at display sizes. The numerals match the same rounded, constructed logic, giving mixed alphanumeric settings a cohesive, uniform color.
