A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with broad proportions and a distinctly squarish skeleton. Curves are built from superellipse-like corners rather than circular bowls, giving letters a soft, blocky footprint. Counters are small and often rectangular, and several joins show notch-like cut-ins that resemble ink traps, reinforcing a mechanical rhythm. Uppercase forms are sturdy and geometric, while lowercase keeps a compact, utilitarian structure with single-storey a and g. Numerals follow the same squared, thick-set logic, maintaining a consistent, dense color across text.
Best suited to display settings where bold, blocky geometry is an asset: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging panels, and tech or sports-inspired graphics. It also works well for short UI labels or badges when set with ample size and spacing, where its squared counters and rounded corners remain clear.
The overall tone feels robust and engineered, with a friendly edge from the rounded corners. Its chunky geometry and tight counters evoke arcade/tech aesthetics and product-label pragmatism at the same time. The notch details add a purposeful, fabricated character that reads as modern-retro rather than purely minimalist.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a softened, rounded-rect aesthetic—combining industrial sturdiness with approachable curves. The notch-like joins suggest a practical, engineered mindset, aiming for strong recognition in branding and display typography.
The font’s strong silhouette and tight internal spaces create high visual impact but can make smaller sizes feel crowded, especially in complex words and in the more closed letters. The distinctive notch/cut-in motif is a defining feature that helps differentiate similar shapes and adds texture to headlines.
