A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) modules, with broad proportions and softly squared corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing sturdy counters and a dense, blocky color on the line. Openings and terminals tend to be flat and horizontal, while bowls and joins resolve into cushioned corners rather than true circles. Spacing appears generous enough for headline use, with simplified interior shapes that keep forms legible at larger sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, branding marks, posters, game UI/title screens, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for short bursts of text in promotional graphics, but its heavy texture is less ideal for extended reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and assertive, blending a retro arcade feel with a modern, tech-forward solidity. Its rounded squareness and inflated mass read as approachable rather than aggressive, giving it a playful, display-first personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a friendly, rounded-rect geometry—creating a distinctive silhouette that stays consistent across letters and numbers while signaling a contemporary-retro display aesthetic.
Uppercase and lowercase share a strongly unified construction, and the numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry for a cohesive set. The design favors simplified apertures and compact counters, which enhances impact but can make long passages feel dense. It performs best when allowed breathing room in size and tracking.
