A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, with broad strokes and softened corners throughout. Counters are mostly rectangular with generous rounding, and many joins resolve into smooth, squared-off curves rather than true circles. Proportions lean horizontally extended, giving caps and numerals a wide, stable stance; bowls and terminals maintain a consistent radius that reinforces a modular, system-like construction. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey approach where applicable, with short, sturdy arms and minimal stroke modulation for a uniform rhythm.
Best suited to display roles where the chunky, rounded-rect geometry can be a visual feature: headlines, posters, product packaging, brand marks, and short UI or wayfinding labels. It can also work for tech-themed titles and numbering systems where bold numerals and simplified forms are desirable.
The overall tone feels technical and game-like, blending a retro digital sensibility with a clean, contemporary sturdiness. Its rounded-square geometry reads friendly but engineered, suggesting interface hardware, sci‑fi labeling, or sporty branding rather than formal editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, highly stylized sans with a consistent superelliptic construction—prioritizing impact, clarity, and a distinctive techno-retro voice over typographic neutrality for long-form reading.
Angular letters are softened by consistent rounding, creating a distinctive “squared” silhouette in curves (notably in rounded characters and numerals). The wide set and large interior openings support strong presence at display sizes, while the compact, blocky detailing can make long passages feel dense.
