A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared, superellipse-like curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes stay mostly uniform, with minimal modulation and a strong, even color across lines of text. The geometry favors wide bowls and rectangular counters (notably in forms like O, D, P, and 0), while diagonals in V/W/X/Y are thick and decisive. Terminals are blunt and clean, giving the face a sturdy, engineered feel; lowercase forms remain compact with simple, closed apertures and a single-storey a.
Best suited for display applications where strong impact and quick recognition are priorities—headlines, poster typography, wayfinding, labels, and branding marks that benefit from a robust, geometric voice. The uniform width and sturdy shapes also lend themselves to technical or UI contexts where alignment and consistent rhythm matter, especially in short strings.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a friendly, game-like edge created by the softened corners and rounded-rectangle rhythm. It reads as confident and attention-grabbing, suggesting signage, equipment labeling, and retro-tech aesthetics rather than delicate editorial typography.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with a simplified, rounded-rect geometry: a durable, modern-industrial sans that stays friendly through softened corners and tightly controlled letterforms. The consistent construction suggests an emphasis on repeatable shapes and clear patterning across the alphabet and figures.
The numeral set is chunky and highly legible, with broad shapes and simplified interior spaces that hold up well at display sizes. The sample text shows a dense, assertive texture with little whitespace inside counters, reinforcing its strong presence in short phrases and headings.
