A compact, heavy sans built from rounded-rectangle and superelliptic forms. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and terminals are softly squared rather than fully circular. Curves are tight and controlled, producing D/O-like bowls that read as rounded boxes; counters are relatively small and often rectangular. The alphabet shows a mix of straight-sided geometry and a few tapered joins (notably in diagonals like K and X), creating a rhythmic, engineered texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, branding marks, packaging titles, and display typography where its compact, blocky silhouettes can carry visual weight. It also fits tech, industrial, and retro-themed graphics, and works well for large numerals in signage-style treatments.
The overall tone is assertive and mechanical, with a distinctly retro-futurist flavor. Its boxy softness suggests technology, machinery, and arcade-era graphics—confident and utilitarian rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a rounded-rect geometric system into a highly legible display sans, prioritizing punchy silhouettes and a consistent modular feel across letters and numbers. The softened corners temper the rigidity, aiming for a mechanical look that still feels polished and contemporary.
The design favors closed shapes and sturdy joints, which gives it strong presence but can reduce interior space in letters such as B, R, S, and a. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, with chunky, sign-like silhouettes that stay cohesive in bold settings.
