A heavy, rounded-rectilinear sans with square counters and generously softened corners throughout. Strokes are monoline and dense, with compact apertures and a generally boxy silhouette; many curves resolve into superellipse-like bends rather than true circles. Terminals are blunt and consistent, and the overall rhythm is blocky and even, producing strong texture in lines of text. Uppercase and lowercase share a unified geometric construction, with a simple single-storey "a" and a similarly straightforward "g" that keeps the forms compact and sturdy.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where weight and geometric character are assets: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and interface titles in games or apps. It can also work for labels and wayfinding-style callouts when set at sufficient size to preserve counter clarity.
The font projects a bold, friendly solidity with a distinctly digital and arcade-adjacent flavor. Its softened corners keep the tone approachable, while the squared geometry adds a utilitarian, gadget-like character. Overall it feels energetic and graphic, suited to attention-getting display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive rounded-rectangle geometry, combining a soft-cornered friendliness with a robust, modular structure. It emphasizes strong silhouette recognition and consistent construction for bold graphic typography.
Counters tend to be squared and relatively small, so the face reads best with a bit of breathing room in tracking and line spacing. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, giving them a signage-like presence and strong consistency with the letters.
