A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistent, soft-cornered joins. Strokes are broad and even, with slightly flattened curves that read as superelliptical rather than fully circular. Counters tend to be compact and rectangular-oval, and many forms show clipped or notched openings that create a punchy, built-from-blocks rhythm. The lowercase maintains strong presence with short extenders and simplified shapes, while the figures follow the same rounded-square logic for a cohesive, sign-like texture.
Best suited for headlines, posters, branding, and packaging where bold shapes and compact counters can deliver strong visual presence. It also works well for signage or interface-style display settings that benefit from its engineered, rounded-rect geometry.
The overall tone is sturdy and engineered, evoking industrial labeling and tech interfaces while keeping a friendly softness through rounded corners. Its chunky silhouettes and squared curves also add a retro, arcade-like flavor that can feel playful at larger sizes.
The font appears designed to translate geometric, rounded-rect forms into a robust display sans that feels both technical and approachable. Its simplified, blocky construction prioritizes impact and recognizability, aiming for a distinctive voice in titles and short bursts of text.
The design emphasizes distinctive silhouettes over open readability: apertures are relatively tight and the inner shapes stay compact, which increases impact in headlines and logos. Rounded corners are consistently applied, giving the face a cohesive, molded-plastic or stamped-metal feel.
