A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms with consistently softened corners and even stroke weight. Curves resolve into superelliptic bowls and squared-off rounds, giving letters like O/C/G/Q a blocky-yet-smooth silhouette. The design uses compact joins, mostly closed apertures, and generous internal counters to keep the dense weight readable. Terminals are blunt and straight, and the overall rhythm is stable and industrial, with simple, engineered construction across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, logos, product marks, posters, and packaging where its chunky geometry can read as a visual motif. It also fits sporty or tech-forward branding systems, UI headers, and display typography where strong silhouettes and compact details help maintain clarity.
The tone feels bold and contemporary with a distinct retro-tech flavor—part arcade/scoreboard, part modern UI. Its rounded squareness reads approachable rather than aggressive, while the mass and tight apertures add a rugged, utilitarian confidence.
This font appears designed to merge strict geometric construction with softened, rounded-rectangle forms, creating a distinctive display voice that remains legible under heavy weight. The consistent stroke and squared curves suggest an intention toward modern, industrial clarity with a playful retro edge.
The lowercase is deliberately simplified and geometric, with single-storey forms where applicable and minimal modulation. Numerals echo the same rounded-rect geometry, producing strong, sign-like figures that hold up well at large sizes and in high-contrast applications.
