A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded rectangles and superelliptical curves. Strokes are consistently thick with softly radiused corners, producing squarish counters and broad, flat terminals. The forms lean toward horizontal emphasis, with compact apertures and generous interior rounding that keeps the black mass smooth and continuous. Overall spacing and rhythm feel deliberate and modular, with characters reading as sculpted blocks rather than pen-drawn shapes.
Best suited to display typography where its chunky geometry can carry a brand voice—logos, poster headlines, product packaging, title cards, and UI/arcade-inspired graphics. It holds up well in short bursts of text at larger sizes, where the rounded-square details and compact apertures remain clear.
The tone is upbeat and synthetic, evoking arcade-era graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and playful industrial design. Its soft-square geometry balances friendliness with a distinctly engineered, tech-forward feel, making it assertive without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to merge a soft, rounded friendliness with a structured, modular construction, creating a bold visual signature for modern tech, gaming, and retro-futuristic branding.
Many letters feature inset, rounded counters and notched joins that add a distinctive, machined personality. The numerals and punctuation in the sample text maintain the same rounded-rectilinear logic, supporting strong consistency in display settings.
