A heavy, rounded-rect sans with broad proportions and tightly filled counters. Curves resolve into superellipse-like corners, while straights stay firm and geometric, producing a chunky, machined silhouette. Terminals are blunt and mostly horizontal/vertical, with occasional angled cuts on diagonals that sharpen letters like A, K, V, W, X, Y, and Z. The lowercase is compact with a tall x-height and sturdy stems; bowls and apertures remain small, emphasizing mass over openness. Numerals follow the same wide, blocklike construction with soft corners and minimal interior space.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as posters, big headlines, wordmarks, and packaging where its mass and width can dominate the page. It also fits sporty graphics and bold UI moments (banners, tabs, badges) when used at generous sizes and spacing.
The overall tone is loud and confident, leaning toward sporty and industrial display styling. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly, toy-like warmth on top of the otherwise tough, poster-ready weight, giving it a playful retro-tech feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a modern rounded-rectangle geometry, balancing hard, geometric construction with softened corners for approachability. It prioritizes bold presence and simplified forms over delicate detail, aiming for strong recognition in short bursts of text.
At text sizes the dense counters and narrow apertures can darken quickly, while at larger sizes the distinctive superellipse rounding and broad rhythm become the main character. Round letters (C, G, O, Q) read as squared-off ovals, and forms like S and 2 emphasize strong horizontal sweeps.
