A heavy, geometric sans built from squarish, rounded-rectangle forms with consistently softened corners. Curves resolve into broad superellipse-like bowls (notably in C, D, O, Q, and the lowercase c/e), while straight strokes stay blunt and blocky, creating a compact, high-impact silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and often squared-off, and terminals are generally flat with rounded edges rather than tapered. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a sturdy, straight-sided n/m rhythm, and a compact, squared-shoulder r; figures echo the same rounded-rect geometry for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short, bold statements where its rounded-rect geometry can read clearly and feel intentional. It works well for tech-leaning branding, packaging, wayfinding, and poster typography, especially when a sturdy, slightly retro-industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and machine-made, with a friendly softness coming from the rounded corners. It reads as retro-futuristic and utilitarian—more display-forward than neutral—projecting strength, clarity, and a slightly arcade/industrial flavor.
The design appears intended to merge geometric, squared construction with softened corners to balance toughness and approachability. Its consistent rounded-rectangle vocabulary suggests a focus on strong display presence and immediate recognizability across letters and numerals.
In longer lines, the dense letterforms and tight counters create a dark, even typographic color that favors larger sizes. Distinctive angular details (like the Z and the wedge-like diagonals in K/R) add bite to an otherwise rounded system, helping keep headings crisp and energetic.
