A compact, geometric sans with softened corners and subtly irregular curvature that gives the outlines a handmade, cut-from-stencil feel. Strokes are monolinear overall, with squared terminals and frequent flat joins; curves often resolve into gentle angles rather than perfect arcs. Counters are mostly rectangular or squarish (notably in O, D, P, and the numerals), and many letters have a slightly widened, boxy footprint that reads clearly at display sizes. The rhythm is steady but not strictly modular, with small shape idiosyncrasies across glyphs (e.g., the hooky J, the angular S, and the asymmetry in W) contributing to an intentionally offbeat texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, branding marks, and packaging where its quirky geometry can be a key part of the voice. It can also work for short UI labels or game/tech theming when a friendly, retro-futurist feel is desired, but its irregularities make it less ideal for long-form reading.
The tone is playful and unconventional, mixing a retro sci‑fi/arcade sensibility with a handcrafted wobble. It feels friendly rather than formal, with a lightly mechanical character that suggests signage, packaging, or title graphics more than editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive geometric sans voice with softened, slightly improvised forms—balancing clear construction with characterful inconsistencies to avoid a sterile, purely technical look.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent squared-counter construction, helping the family feel cohesive in mixed case. Numerals follow the same boxy logic, with a distinctive, almost digital interpretation of 2 and 3 and a rounded-rect 0 that aligns well with the capitals.
