A heavy, compact sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with squarish counters and generously filleted corners. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, producing a solid, blocky texture, while many joins show small notches and interior cut-ins that create a subtle stencil/ink-trap flavor. Curves tend to resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving O/C/G and the bowls of B/P/R a superelliptical, squared-off character. Spacing reads tight and purposeful, with sturdy verticals and short terminals that keep word shapes chunky and rhythmic.
Best suited to display work where its chunky, rounded-rectilinear shapes can be appreciated—headlines, branding marks, posters, packaging, and bold UI labels. It can also work for wayfinding or product labeling when set with ample size and breathing room, as the tight, blocky rhythm becomes dense in long text.
The tone is playful yet mechanical: it feels like retro digital labeling, arcade-era display type, or molded plastic lettering. The rounded squareness softens the industrial heft, creating a friendly techno vibe suited to bold, attention-grabbing statements. Overall it projects a confident, utilitarian personality with a nostalgic sci‑fi edge.
The design appears intended to merge a modular, squared construction with softened corners for friendliness, while adding small interior notches to improve clarity in heavy strokes and to introduce a distinctive industrial detail. The goal reads as a high-impact display sans with a recognizable, retro-tech silhouette.
Distinctive interior cut-outs appear in several glyphs (notably the Q tail and some bowls), adding texture at larger sizes and helping prevent dark spots in dense settings. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with a boxy 0 and compact, high-impact figures that read best in short strings and headings.
