A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with broad proportions and softly chamfered corners throughout. Strokes are thick and steady with minimal modulation, producing dense, compact counters—especially in bowls and apertures—while maintaining clear, blocky silhouettes. Curves resolve into superellipse-like forms rather than true circles, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) feel sturdy and slightly flattened. Numerals are equally weighty, with the 0 reading as a rounded rectangle and the 2/3 showing horizontal notch-like breaks that emphasize the cut, industrial construction.
Best suited for large-scale typography such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, packaging, and bold editorial callouts. The wide, dense shapes hold up well in high-contrast applications (signage, apparel, sports and event graphics), where a strong silhouette and quick recognition are more important than long-form reading comfort.
The overall tone is bold and friendly, with a sporty, poster-like energy. Its rounded geometry keeps the mass from feeling aggressive, giving it a playful, approachable retro-tech flavor that still reads as assertive and modern.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a soft-edged, geometric voice—combining blocky construction with rounded corners for a punchy display look that remains approachable. The consistent, superellipse-based drawing suggests an intention toward strong branding presence and reliable silhouette recognition across letters and numerals.
Spacing appears generous for a display style, helping large black shapes stay legible in tight settings. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy forms with single-storey a and g, and the dot on i/j is a rectangular block that matches the font’s squared softness. The Q includes a distinct tail, and several letters use crisp interior cut-ins that add character without introducing ornament.
