A chunky, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently heavy and largely uniform, with squared terminals and broad internal counters that read as rectangular apertures rather than circles. Curves resolve into superellipse-like forms, giving round letters a boxy rhythm, while straight-sided characters stay rigid and compact. Spacing appears steady and the overall texture is dense and emphatic, with lowercase forms built tall and sturdy to match the strong uppercase presence.
Best suited to display applications where strong shape and impact matter: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and bold signage. It also fits UI/game titling or tech-themed graphics where a rounded-rectilinear aesthetic helps establish a retro-futurist tone. Use at moderate-to-large sizes to let the squared counters and corner rounding read clearly.
The font conveys a bold, industrial confidence with a distinct retro-digital flavor. Its rounded-square geometry feels engineered and utilitarian, yet the softened corners keep the tone friendly and game-like. Overall it reads as energetic and attention-seeking rather than subtle or delicate.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a highly legible, heavy display sans. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, consistent stroke weight, and a cohesive superellipse-based rhythm to create an immediately recognizable typographic voice.
Distinctive construction shows in letters like C/G/S and the numerals, where rounded corners and flat segments dominate the silhouette. The lowercase shares much of the uppercase’s structural logic, producing a unified, signage-like voice with minimal calligraphic influence.
