A heavy, rounded-rect sans with a modular, superelliptical construction. Strokes are uniform and terminals are squared off with generous corner rounding, giving counters and bowls a boxy, softened geometry. The uppercase is compact and sturdy, while the lowercase keeps a high, utilitarian profile with simplified joins and minimal tapering. Openings and counters are generally tight and rectangular, and some forms (notably m/w) emphasize repeated vertical stems for a mechanical rhythm.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as logos, headlines, posters, and bold packaging where its blocky rounded forms can carry personality. It also fits interface-style graphics, wayfinding, and title treatments that want a sturdy, industrial voice.
The overall tone is bold and engineered, with a distinctly techno/industrial feel that also reads as retro-futuristic. Its chunky, softened blocks feel confident and game-like, suggesting hardware interfaces, arcade graphics, and utilitarian signage rather than delicate editorial typography.
The letterforms appear intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into an approachable but mechanical sans, prioritizing strong silhouettes, compact spacing, and a consistent modular rhythm for punchy display use.
The design favors straight-sided curves and squared interior spaces, producing strong silhouette recognition at display sizes. Due to the dense counters and heavy massing, small sizes may benefit from generous tracking and ample line spacing for clarity.
