A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are consistently thick, with frequent notched cuts and wedge-like terminals that create a slightly “carved” rhythm at joins and endings. Counters are tight and boxy (notably in O, P, and e), and corners often transition via rounded shoulders rather than true circles. The overall texture is dense and dark, with crisp edges and distinctive angular details that break up the mass.
Best suited to display settings where its dense color and distinctive notches can read as intentional style—headlines, branding, short slogans, packaging, and title treatments. It can also work for UI or app titles when used at larger sizes, where the tight counters and chunky forms stay legible.
The face reads as bold and energetic, mixing friendly rounded forms with sharp, stylized nicks that add attitude. It suggests a retro display sensibility—confident and a bit mischievous—without feeling overly decorative. The quirky terminals and compact shapes give it a game-title or poster-era punch.
The design appears intended to merge superelliptical, rounded-rectangle geometry with sharp terminal cuts to produce a memorable, high-impact display voice. It prioritizes bold silhouette and rhythmic detailing over neutrality, aiming for instant recognition in branding and headline contexts.
Uppercase forms feel more geometric and block-like, while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes and asymmetries, increasing the informal character. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic and remain highly graphic, with some figures featuring pronounced cuts that emphasize the font’s signature notched finishing.
