This typeface uses thick, uniform strokes and broad proportions, with curves built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like geometry. Corners are consistently softened, producing smooth joins and blunt terminals rather than sharp points. Counters tend to be compact and squarish, giving letters like O, P, R, and a dense, weighty feel, while horizontals and verticals maintain an even, low-modulation rhythm. The overall spacing reads tight and sturdy in text, with short extenders and a solid, billboard-ready silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where impact and clarity matter: headlines, posters, title cards, logos, and packaging. The heavy, rounded construction holds up well at large sizes and creates a distinctive texture for short text blocks and brand marks.
The tone is bold and friendly, blending a utilitarian, industrial presence with a playful softness from its rounded corners. It evokes retro signage and sporty branding—assertive and attention-grabbing without feeling aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence with a friendly, rounded-technical character. By pairing superellipse-derived curves with dense counters and blunt terminals, it aims for a modernized retro look that stays legible and consistent in bold display use.
The design’s superellipse logic is especially apparent in rounded letters and numerals, where the outer shapes feel more like rounded rectangles than perfect circles. Diagonals (e.g., V, W, X, Y) stay thick and stable, reinforcing a strong, poster-oriented texture across lines of text.
