A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with uniform stroke weight and firmly squared terminals softened by generous corner radii. Counters tend to be compact and rounded, with apertures kept fairly tight, giving the face a dense, high-impact texture. The uppercase shows broad, simple construction with minimal modulation; the lowercase follows the same geometry, with single-storey a and g and short, sturdy extenders. Numerals are equally robust and rounded, designed to read as solid shapes at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where strong shapes can work at larger sizes: headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It can also perform well for short UI labels or badges when a bold, friendly tone is desired, but its tight apertures and dense color make it less ideal for long-form text.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, mixing a retro industrial feel with a clean, contemporary smoothness. Its rounded corners and compact counters make it feel friendly and approachable, while the thick, simplified silhouettes add a confident, poster-like punch.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through compact, rounded geometry and simplified letterforms. It prioritizes a cohesive, iconic rhythm across cases and numerals, aiming for a modern-retro voice that remains clean and highly legible in bold display settings.
The design emphasizes silhouette over internal detail, so spacing and counter size play a major role in legibility at smaller sizes. Round letters (O, C, G) lean toward squarish ovals, and joins in letters like m, n, and w create a strong, rhythmic pattern that reads especially well in headlines.
