A heavy, rounded sans with a blocky superellipse construction and generously softened corners. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with narrow counters and frequent notches or ink-trap–like cut-ins that create a subtle stencil/relief effect in bowls and joins. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with compact ascenders/descenders, while capitals stay broad and squat with rounded rectangular geometry. Overall spacing and rhythm feel dense and compact, with wide, weighty shapes that read as solid masses at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where the chunky silhouettes and rounded rectangles can hold the stage. It works well for posters, branding marks, packaging, and title treatments that benefit from a friendly, retro punch; in smaller text, the tight counters and heavy mass may reduce clarity.
The tone is bold and approachable, blending toy-like softness with a slightly industrial, cut-out character. The notched details add grit and motion, giving the face a lively, retro-leaning personality that feels energetic rather than formal.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans built from rounded-rectangle forms, with deliberate notches to add character and prevent heavy shapes from clogging. It aims to deliver strong presence and a distinctive texture while keeping an overall soft, approachable feel.
Several glyphs exhibit distinctive internal cut-ins and small protrusions that act like stylized ink traps, helping separate forms in heavy weight. Numerals and punctuation match the same chunky, rounded language, keeping a consistent, poster-ready texture across lines of text.
