A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle shapes, with softened corners and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and squarish counters, giving letters a machined, punched-out feel. The lowercase is compact with a prominent x-height, short ascenders/descenders, and simple joins; terminals are typically blunt or gently rounded. Overall spacing and proportions favor tight, stable silhouettes that stay legible at medium to large sizes.
Best suited for display typography where impact and clarity are the priority—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and bold signage. It also works well for short UI labels or product titling when a sturdy, geometric voice is desired, though the dense shapes may feel heavy for long-form text.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, suggesting engineered signage and retro-tech hardware aesthetics. Its rounded corners keep it friendly, but the squared interiors and blocky structure make it feel assertive and disciplined rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence with a cohesive rounded-rect geometry, balancing friendliness (soft corners) with a firm, industrial structure. It prioritizes simple, repeatable shapes and strong silhouettes for high recognizability and a distinctive retro-modern voice.
Several glyphs emphasize rectangular counters (notably in letters like O/D/P and numerals), and the lowercase forms maintain a consistent, simplified construction that supports strong word shapes in all-caps or mixed-case settings. The ampersand follows the same chunky, geometric logic, matching the alphabet’s squared rhythm.
