A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with tight internal counters and a generally condensed footprint that keeps letters tall and space-efficient. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and terminals, giving round letters a superelliptical, almost stamped silhouette. The overall rhythm is steady and blocky, with small apertures and short joins that emphasize mass and density in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong presence and compact width help fit more characters into limited space. It can work for short blurbs or callouts in packaging and signage, where its dense shapes and rounded squareness remain legible at larger sizes.
The tone is assertive and attention-grabbing, with a friendly, slightly retro flavor created by the squarish rounding and chunky proportions. It reads as energetic and informal rather than technical, making it feel at home in bold, characterful display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, rounded-rectangular voice—combining strong weight with soft corners to balance authority and approachability in display typography.
Uppercase forms feel especially poster-like, while lowercase maintains the same compact, squared-round logic, keeping textures consistent across mixed-case copy. Numerals match the heavy, rounded geometry and stay visually sturdy at a glance.
