A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with monoline strokes and generously softened corners. Letterforms are built from squarish counters and superelliptic curves, creating a modular, almost stamped rhythm across the alphabet. The proportions feel compact with short-to-moderate extenders, and many joins resolve into smooth radii rather than sharp intersections. Openings in letters like C, S, and G are controlled and slightly squared, while bowls in B, P, and R stay blocky and evenly weighted.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and short copy where its chunky rounded geometry can carry personality—such as packaging, posters, product labels, and signage. It can also work for interface headers or dashboards when a friendly, industrial display sans is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is confident and approachable, blending a retro display feel with an industrial, device-label practicality. Its rounded geometry reads friendly rather than aggressive, while the dense weight and compact shapes add a tough, utilitarian character. The result suggests a playful tech or arcade-adjacent mood without becoming overly novelty-driven.
The design appears intended to merge rounded, superelliptic construction with a sturdy display weight, producing a modernized retro sans that feels both engineered and inviting. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent stroke logic, aiming for high impact and recognizability in branding and titling contexts.
Distinctive squarish counters and rounded terminals give strong silhouette clarity at larger sizes. Numerals match the same rounded-rect construction, with a particularly geometric 0 and a compact, engineered feel across the set. Spacing appears steady in the sample text, supporting blocky word shapes and an even texture.
