A heavy, block-based sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, high-ink silhouettes and strong color on the page. Many counters and bowls skew squarish rather than circular, and curves resolve into broad radii that echo a superelliptic geometry. Terminals are blunt and flat, joins are firm, and interior apertures are relatively tight, emphasizing solidity over airiness. Numerals and capitals read particularly compact and structured, while lowercase forms keep a pragmatic, single-storey feel where applicable.
Best suited to display settings where strong, compact letterforms are an advantage: headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and attention-grabbing labels. It also fits contemporary tech or industrial-themed branding and bold wayfinding-style applications where a sturdy, rounded-block aesthetic helps maintain clarity at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a friendly edge, combining an industrial, utilitarian presence with a slightly game-like, retro-tech personality. The rounded corners soften the impact, keeping it approachable even at large, poster-like sizes.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, rounded-rectangle voice—prioritizing robust shapes, consistent stroke weight, and a modular rhythm. Its softened corners suggest an intention to balance toughness with approachability for modern display typography.
The design maintains a consistent corner radius and stroke density across letters and figures, giving text a cohesive, modular rhythm. Spacing and shapes favor strong silhouettes and quick recognition, especially in uppercase, with distinctive squared counters that contribute to a mechanical, display-forward texture.
