A heavy, rounded-rectangular sans with a superelliptical construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are broadly uniform, with compact counters and small apertures that stay consistent across the set. Many glyphs show deliberate chamfers and notched corners that create a subtly cut-out, quasi-stencil feeling while keeping an overall smooth silhouette. The rhythm is dense and sturdy, with short joins and simplified terminals that prioritize bold shapes over fine detail.
Best suited to short, bold settings such as headlines, branding marks, poster titles, product packaging, and playful merchandising graphics. It also works well for punchy UI labels or game-inspired visuals where chunky, high-impact letterforms are desired.
The letterforms read as upbeat and approachable, with a distinctly retro display flavor. The rounded geometry keeps the tone friendly, while the squared proportions and notched details add a game-like, industrial edge. Overall, it feels energetic and attention-grabbing rather than formal or literary.
The design appears intended as a bold display face built from rounded-square primitives, emphasizing clarity at large sizes and a distinctive silhouette. The added corner cuts and notches provide character and differentiation while maintaining a consistent geometric system across letters and numerals.
Digit shapes are strongly geometric and match the same rounded-corner, chamfered vocabulary as the letters, making them suitable for big numeric callouts. The compact internal spaces suggest the design will look best with generous sizing and adequate spacing so counters don’t visually fill in.
