A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, giving letters a dense, monolithic silhouette. Counters are small and often squared-off, and many joins and terminals are blunt, producing a strong, poster-like texture. The overall set reads slightly condensed in its internal spaces (tight apertures and compact counters) while maintaining broad, stable letterforms and a uniform, machined rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for large-scale display applications such as headlines, posters, event titles, packaging, and signage where its compact counters and thick strokes can read as a single strong shape. It also works well for logos, badges, and sports or product marks that need a robust, contemporary-retro presence. For longer text, additional letterspacing and ample size will help maintain clarity.
The tone is bold and confident with a retro-tech flavor—part arcade display, part industrial stencil without the breaks. Rounded corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, adding a friendly, toy-like energy even at large sizes. The result feels assertive and graphic, suited to attention-grabbing messages rather than subtle text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive rounded-rectangle aesthetic, combining hard-edged structure with softened corners for approachability. Its compact counters and blunt terminals prioritize silhouette strength and branding presence over delicate detail.
Several forms emphasize squared counters and angular diagonals (notably in letters like K, R, and X), while round letters rely on superelliptical curves rather than true circles. Numerals follow the same compact, squared-counter logic, helping mixed alphanumerics look cohesive in headings and badges. The dense interior spaces suggest it will benefit from generous tracking when used in longer lines.
