A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms and smooth superelliptical curves. Strokes are consistently thick with softened corners and squared-off curves, giving bowls and arches a boxy-round geometry. Proportions feel compact and stable, with wide, open counters in letters like O, D, and P, and a distinctive angular treatment on diagonals and joins (notably in V, W, and X). The lowercase maintains clear, simplified constructions, with a single-storey a and g and a broadly rounded e; numerals are similarly blocky and uniform, suited to display sizing.
This face performs best in headlines, branding, and short display copy where its rounded-rect geometry and bold silhouettes can be appreciated. It also suits packaging, posters, UI hero text, and signage that benefits from high-impact letterforms and a retro-tech personality.
The overall tone is confident and durable, mixing a retro sign-painting solidity with a slightly futuristic, engineered feel. Rounded corners keep it friendly and approachable, while the chunky geometry and sharp diagonal cuts add a techy, industrial edge.
The design appears intended to blend geometric clarity with softened, rounded corners for an approachable display sans. Its consistent stroke weight and squared-round construction suggest a focus on strong branding shapes, robust legibility at large sizes, and a distinctive, modern-retro character.
Several glyphs emphasize distinctive silhouettes through deep notches and pointed inner joins (especially V/W), which helps differentiation in headlines but can create a patterned rhythm in text blocks. Spacing appears comfortable for large sizes, and the strong black shapes hold up well against light backgrounds.
