A heavy, boxy display face built from squared forms with generously rounded corners and mostly uniform stroke weight. Counters tend to be rectangular or capsule-like, and many joins are softened into smooth curves that keep the shapes from feeling rigid. Proportions lean compact with a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders, producing a dense, blocky rhythm. Several glyphs introduce distinctive cut-ins and notches (notably in diagonals and terminals), giving the alphabet an intentionally idiosyncratic, constructed look rather than a purely modular one.
Works best in large sizes where its rounded-rect geometry and quirky internal shapes are clearly visible—headlines, title cards, logos/wordmarks, posters, and bold packaging callouts. It can also fit tech-themed or retro-game interface accents, but will be most effective as a display face rather than for long-form reading.
The overall tone feels playful and tech-leaning, with a retro-digital/arcade flavor. Its softened rectangles and quirky details read as friendly and experimental, more suited to expressive statements than neutral text.
Likely designed to deliver a distinctive, constructed display voice that blends softened geometry with oddball details. The tall x-height and compact spacing suggest an aim for punchy presence and strong silhouettes in short strings, while the playful irregularities keep it from feeling purely functional.
The type’s texture is high-impact and tightly packed in running text, with distinctive silhouettes that help individual letters stand out. Rounded-square geometry is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive ‘device UI’ or game-title feel while still embracing irregular, characterful moments in a few key forms.
