A compact, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are heavy and mostly uniform, with squared terminals softened by small radii that keep the shapes from feeling sharp. Counters tend to be rectangular and tight, giving the face a dense, poster-like texture and a steady vertical rhythm. Curves are simplified into superellipse-like bowls (notably in O, C, and numerals), and joins stay clean and geometric rather than calligraphic.
Best suited for headlines, logos, packaging, and signage where its dense, geometric forms can read confidently. It also fits UI-style graphics, labels, and short bursts of text that benefit from a strong, structured presence.
The overall tone reads bold and utilitarian with a light, game-like friendliness. Its squared geometry and softened corners evoke digital signage and retro-futuristic interfaces, while the slightly quirky proportions keep it from feeling strictly technical.
The face appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric look built from rounded rectangles—strong, compact, and highly legible in display contexts—while maintaining a friendly, slightly retro character for branding and interface-inspired typography.
The design favors clarity at display sizes: wide shoulders and sturdy stems hold up well, while the simplified bowls and compact counters can darken quickly in smaller settings. Figures match the same squared-round language, giving alphanumerics a cohesive, system-like feel.
