A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms with soft corners and broad, even strokes. Counters tend to be compact and often appear as rounded slots or pill-shaped cutouts, giving letters a carved, almost stencil-like interior. Curves are squarish rather than circular, with straight-sided bowls and flattened arcs that create a tight, rhythmic texture in text. The uppercase is compact and boxy; the lowercase shows simplified constructions with a notably tall x-height and minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same rounded-block logic, with sturdy shapes and enclosed or slotted apertures that stay open at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short emphatic lines where its chunky geometry and distinctive counters can be appreciated. It works well for posters, brand marks, packaging, and signage that need a bold, friendly, retro-tech voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and assertive, with a friendly softness from the rounded corners and a distinctly retro-digital flavor. Its chunky silhouettes read as playful and attention-grabbing, evoking arcade, toy, and 1970s/1980s display typography rather than neutral corporate minimalism.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a high-impact display sans, prioritizing strong silhouette recognition and a compact, modular rhythm. The repeated slot-like counters and softened corners suggest a deliberate aim for a playful, retro-futuristic look that stays cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
In running text the dense interior cutouts and tight counters create a strong, dark color and a compact rhythm, especially where bowls and terminals form slot-like openings (e, a, s). Diacritics and punctuation are not shown; the sample emphasizes headline-scale legibility where the exaggerated geometry and internal cutouts become a defining stylistic feature.
