A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with smooth, continuous strokes and large radiused corners throughout. Counters tend toward squarish superellipse shapes, with generous interior openings that keep the dense weight from clogging. The construction is strongly geometric and modular, favoring flat terminals, broad horizontal spans, and simplified curves; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read as softened wedges rather than sharp joins. Lowercase forms are compact and single‑storey where applicable, with short ascenders/descenders and a generally even, blocky rhythm; numerals follow the same rounded, rectangular logic.
Best suited to branding marks, headlines, packaging, and poster work where a bold, futuristic voice is desired. It also fits UI titles, splash screens, and gaming/tech visuals, particularly when large sizes can showcase the smooth superellipse geometry. For longer passages, it works most comfortably as short blocks or emphasized callouts rather than continuous small text.
The overall tone feels digital and engineered, like interface typography from a sci‑fi or arcade context, but softened by the rounded corners. It balances a utilitarian, machine-made presence with a friendly, toy-like smoothness, making it feel modern, playful, and slightly retro-futurist at the same time.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangular, superellipse geometry into a cohesive alphabet with strong impact and a consistent soft-cornered system. It prioritizes a futuristic, interface-like character while maintaining approachable legibility through open counters and simplified, modular shapes.
The wide proportions and thick joins create strong word shapes at display sizes, while the open counters help preserve clarity in dense letters like B, 8, and 9. The squarish geometry gives text a distinctive “soft tech” texture, especially noticeable in repeated rounded rectangles across O/C/D and the numerals.
