A heavy, block-driven sans with squarish proportions and generously rounded corners that push many curves toward rounded-rectangle forms. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating a solid, poster-like color and sturdy rhythm. Counters tend to be rectangular and fairly compact (notably in B, D, O, 8), while joins and terminals stay clean and blunt. Diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y are broad and stable, and the overall spacing reads even and dense, favoring impact over delicacy.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, cover graphics, packaging, and bold branding moments where strong silhouettes matter. It can also work for large UI labels or signage where a compact, blocky look is desirable, but it is less geared toward long-form reading at small sizes.
The font projects a tough, contemporary tone with a slightly game-like, tech-industrial character. Its softened corners keep the mass from feeling harsh, adding a friendly, approachable edge while remaining assertive and bold in voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through dense shapes, rounded-rectangle geometry, and uniform weight, while keeping a modern, approachable personality. It prioritizes strong, repeatable forms and consistent rhythm for attention-grabbing display typography.
Round letters are treated as squarish bowls, giving the alphabet a consistent superellipse theme across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Lowercase forms keep a sturdy, simplified construction; the single-storey a and g reinforce the geometric, utilitarian feel. Numerals are similarly blocky and legible, with a distinctive, squared 0 and a compact, stacked 8.
