A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly blunted corners throughout. Strokes are uniform and dense, with tight apertures and simplified inner counters that keep forms solid at display sizes. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and terminals, while joints and diagonals stay crisp and economical, creating a slightly condensed, vertical rhythm. Lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g” and generally straightforward, geometric forms that match the sturdy uppercase.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and logo wordmarks where a strong, compact voice is needed. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing, but it is primarily a display style rather than a long-form text face.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, with a playful, slightly retro flavor driven by its rounded block shapes and compressed stance. It reads as confident and energetic rather than formal, making it feel at home in attention-grabbing, upbeat messaging.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact in a space-efficient width, using rounded-rectangle geometry to balance toughness with friendliness. The consistent, simplified shapes prioritize quick recognition and a cohesive, branded look across letters and numerals.
The dense counters and narrow openings suggest it will hold up best when given enough size and spacing, where its chunky shapes and distinctive rounded geometry remain clear. Numerals follow the same compact, blocky logic, with simple silhouettes designed for impact.
