A heavy, squarish sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly uniform strokes. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls and counters, giving letters like O, Q, and 0 a softened, boxy silhouette rather than a true circle. Terminals are clean and blunt, with minimal modulation and a consistent, grid-like rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase uses single-storey forms where expected (a, g), with generous, rectangular counters and sturdy joins that keep shapes open at large display sizes.
Best suited to attention-grabbing applications such as posters, large headlines, branding marks, and bold packaging systems where its wide, blocky forms can breathe. It also fits signage, labels, and interface-style display text where a sturdy, engineered look is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, pairing a friendly softness from the rounded corners with a strong, no-nonsense presence. Its geometry and even cadence evoke utilitarian labeling, retro computing, and engineered systems rather than expressive calligraphy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a controlled, geometric voice—combining rounded-rectangle forms for approachability with dense, blunt strokes for authority and clarity in display settings.
Several glyphs emphasize block geometry: the S is built from broad horizontal sweeps, the G reads with a prominent internal bar, and the numerals are wide and stable with large counters (notably 8 and 0). The design maintains strong visual consistency between uppercase and lowercase, helping mixed-case text feel cohesive and firmly structured.
