A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) strokes with consistently softened corners and mostly squared counters. The design favors vertical, monolinear stems and compact apertures, creating dense, blocky silhouettes that stay smooth rather than sharp. Curves are often expressed as flattened arcs or radiused right angles, and many glyphs show deliberate cut-ins or notched joins that add a subtly segmented, engineered feel. Numerals and capitals are sturdy and uniform, while lowercase keeps a simple, utilitarian construction with short extenders and closed forms that emphasize solidity over openness.
Best suited for display typography where its blocky, rounded-square construction can read clearly—headlines, posters, logos, product marks, packaging, and interface titles. It can also work for short labels and signage where a technical or futuristic voice is desired, but extended body text may feel dense due to tight counters and heavy color.
The overall tone feels retro-futurist and technical—like labeling on equipment, arcade-era interfaces, or sci‑fi wayfinding. Its rounded corners soften the weight, but the squared geometry and tight counters keep it assertive and industrial.
The design appears intended to merge a soft, rounded-rectangle geometry with an engineered, modular construction, producing a bold voice that reads as both friendly and technical. The consistent corner radii and squared bowls suggest a focus on system-like cohesion and strong impact in display contexts.
The rhythm is strongly modular, with repeated radii and rectangular proportions across bowls and shoulders, giving text a consistent, machine-made texture. Small sizes may look dark due to compact apertures and heavy interior shapes, while larger sizes highlight the distinctive notches and rounded-square construction.
