A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and large, simplified counters. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are broadly rounded or softly squared, producing a chunky silhouette. The design uses prominent ink-trap-like notches and interior cuts (notably in letters like A, B, D, O, P, R) that open up counters and create a distinctive, engineered texture. Spacing is tight and rhythm is driven by wide bowls and flat-sided forms, giving lines of text a dense, high-impact color.
Best suited to short, bold settings such as headlines, posters, product packaging, brand marks, and punchy campaign graphics. It can work for large-size editorial display or social graphics where a dense, distinctive texture is desirable; for longer text, the heavy color and tight rhythm will feel intentionally emphatic.
The overall tone is bold and approachable with a distinctly retro, display-minded attitude. The soft corners and inflated shapes feel friendly and fun, while the sharp internal cut-ins add a slightly industrial, punchy edge that reads well in attention-grabbing settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive rounded-rect geometry, while preserving legibility through exaggerated counters and repeated interior cut-ins. It prioritizes a memorable, characterful texture for display typography over neutrality or text-grade refinement.
Round letters lean toward squarish ovals rather than pure circles, and many glyphs show consistent internal vertical slits or notches that act as a signature motif. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded geometry and maintain strong visual unity with the uppercase.
