A heavy, geometric sans with a rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes stay broadly uniform, producing a solid, poster-like color with compact interior counters and sturdy joins. Round letters such as O and C read as squarish superellipses, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) feel firmly engineered and slightly condensed in their apertures. Lowercase shares the same blocky logic, with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a t with a flat cap, all optimized for bold, simplified silhouettes.
Best suited to display applications where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable—headlines, posters, event graphics, packaging, and bold UI or wayfinding labels. It can also work for short brand phrases and logos where a friendly, engineered look is needed, but is less ideal for long passages at small sizes due to its compact counters.
The overall tone is approachable and upbeat, combining a toy-like softness with a confident, industrial heft. Its rounded corners keep the weight from feeling aggressive, giving it a friendly retro-utility personality that can also read as modern and tech-branded.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual presence with a cohesive rounded-rect geometry, balancing a robust, industrial framework with softened edges for approachability. The simplified forms and consistent curve logic suggest an emphasis on clarity and brandability in large-scale typography.
The numerals are wide and emphatic, matching the squarish curve language of the letters and maintaining strong presence at display sizes. Spacing appears tuned for large setting, with tight counters and broad strokes that favor impact over delicacy.
