A heavy, block-built sans with a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, producing small, squared counters and tightly shaped apertures that keep the forms dense. Curves tend to resolve into flattened arcs rather than fully circular bowls, while joins stay blunt and geometric. The lowercase follows the same sturdy logic, with short extenders, broad shoulders, and an overall low-detail, high-mass silhouette that reads best at larger sizes.
Best suited to display applications where impact matters: headlines, poster typography, logo wordmarks, packaging, and bold UI or wayfinding moments. The dense counters and thick strokes favor larger sizes and short-to-medium text runs where the strong silhouette can do the work.
The overall tone is assertive and engineered, combining a playful roundedness with a tough, machined presence. Its wide stance and compact interior spaces give it a sporty, arcade-like energy that feels at home in tech and industrial contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a clean, contemporary geometry—using rounded-rectangle shaping to feel friendly without losing strength. It prioritizes bold recognition and a consistent modular system over fine typographic nuance.
Distinctive one- and two-story decisions aren’t the focus here; instead the design leans on consistent modular geometry across the set. Numerals and capitals share the same squared, cushioned feel, and many characters emphasize straight segments with minimal curvature, reinforcing a signmaking and display-oriented rhythm.
