A heavy, geometric sans with rounded corners and broadly proportioned capitals. Curves are smooth and circular (notably in O/C/G), while joins and terminals often resolve into squared, softened ends. Several forms show purposeful cut-ins and notches—especially in B, S, g, and some diagonals—creating a subtly modular, almost stencil-like construction. Counters tend to be compact and sometimes pill-shaped, and the overall rhythm feels engineered and consistent, with sturdy verticals and confident diagonals.
Best suited to display settings where its geometric personality can be appreciated: headlines, brand marks, product packaging, posters, and punchy UI/cover typography. It can work in short paragraphs at larger sizes, but the tight counters and stylized cuts make it most effective when given space and scale.
The tone is bold and contemporary with a distinct retro-futurist flavor. Its softened geometry keeps it friendly, while the deliberate notches and mechanical shaping add a techy, game-title energy. Overall it reads as playful but assertive—designed to stand out and feel modern rather than neutral.
Likely intended as a characterful display sans that blends friendly rounded geometry with engineered, cut-in detailing. The design aims for high impact and recognizability, delivering a distinctive silhouette for branding and headline use rather than a purely utilitarian text face.
Uppercase forms are particularly strong and logo-like, with wide silhouettes and clean interior shapes. Lowercase maintains the same geometric logic, with a single-storey a and a rounded, roomy e; the g has a distinctive, stylized loop that reinforces the font’s constructed character. Numerals are heavy and graphic, matching the caps in weight and presence.
