A compact sans with thick, even strokes and heavily rounded terminals throughout. Counters and bowls are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving letters a squared-off softness and a steady, modular rhythm. The proportions are narrow with tight apertures in several forms, and the overall color is dense and uniform, reading clearly at larger sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same rounded, monoline construction, keeping the set visually consistent.
Best suited for display use where its compact width and heavy, rounded construction can create a strong silhouette—headlines, posters, product branding, logos, and packaging. It also works well for short UI labels or buttons when a friendly, geometric look is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The rounded-square geometry gives a distinctly retro-futuristic tone—friendly and approachable, yet slightly technical. Its soft corners and chunky presence feel playful and inviting, evoking mid-century signage and contemporary UI iconography at the same time.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, highly recognizable word shape using superellipse-based geometry and softened corners, prioritizing graphic impact and a cohesive, modern-retro aesthetic over delicate text nuance.
The design leans on consistent radii and simplified joins, producing a smooth, almost stencil-like solidity without visible contrast. Round forms skew toward squarish silhouettes, and many terminals finish with blunt, cushioned ends, reinforcing the font’s sturdy, graphic character.
