A compact sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with softly squared bowls and consistently rounded terminals. Strokes are heavy and largely monoline, producing a solid, high-impact texture, while counters tend to be small and rectangular, sometimes with inset “window” shapes. Curves are simplified into superelliptical arcs, and joins stay smooth and blunt rather than sharp. The rhythm feels condensed and mechanical, with a slightly modular construction that remains clean and even in running text.
Best suited to short, bold applications such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and display typography where its compact geometry can read as intentional. It also fits signage, labels, and interface-style graphics that benefit from a sturdy, engineered look. For longer text, it works most reliably at larger sizes with ample leading to preserve clarity.
The overall tone reads retro-futurist and industrial, evoking mid-century signage, arcade interfaces, and equipment labeling. Its chunky forms and softened corners keep it friendly and approachable despite the technical, utilitarian structure. The result is a confident, slightly playful voice that feels engineered rather than calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient display sans with a rounded-rect construction that feels both modern and nostalgically technological. It prioritizes impact, consistency, and a distinctive superelliptical silhouette over delicate detail, aiming for a recognizable voice in titles and branded messaging.
Round forms like O/0 and bowls in letters such as B and P emphasize squarish interiors, reinforcing a “built from blocks” feel. Numerals match the same rounded-rect language, giving headings and UI-style callouts a cohesive, system-like appearance. Tight apertures and compact counters suggest it benefits from comfortable sizing and spacing when used in dense settings.
