A compact, heavy sans with chunky, block-like construction and softly rounded outer curves. Strokes are uniform and dense, with tight counters and short apertures that create a dark, poster-ready texture. Many joins feel slightly pinched or notched (notably in forms like S and g), giving the silhouettes a distinctive, carved look. Uppercase shapes are tall and condensed, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey feel with robust stems and minimal detailing; numerals are similarly bold with simplified geometry and strong vertical presence.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, retail signage, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It works especially well when you want a compact line length with an assertive, graphic presence, and when the text can be set large enough to keep the tight counters readable.
The overall tone is loud and upbeat, combining a retro display sensibility with a slightly comic, toy-box energy. Its mass and compactness read as confident and attention-seeking, while the rounded corners and quirky notches keep it friendly rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a condensed footprint, using simplified, uniform strokes and distinctive notched shaping to create a recognizable display voice. It prioritizes bold silhouette and strong page color for attention-grabbing typography.
In continuous text, the font forms a solid, high-ink rhythm with minimal interior whitespace, so word shapes become prominent more through silhouette than internal detail. The narrow proportions and heavy weight can cause letters to visually crowd at smaller sizes, but this contributes to a strong headline color at larger scales.
