A heavy, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle construction and soft, superelliptical curves. Strokes are thick and even, with compact apertures and tightly contained counters that keep letters feeling dense and sturdy. Curves resolve into broad, blunt terminals, and many joins read as slightly pinched or notched, giving the shapes a cut-and-carved feel rather than a purely geometric smoothness. The lowercase shows single-story forms (notably a and g) and generally squat proportions, while numerals are wide and weighty with small internal openings.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold branding where strong silhouettes and compact letterforms create immediate impact. It can also work well on packaging, stickers, and social graphics that benefit from a friendly, high-energy display voice.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, projecting a confident, poster-like voice without becoming sharp or aggressive. Its rounded geometry and chunky massing add a playful, slightly nostalgic flavor that can feel sporty or cartoon-adjacent, especially at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and instant readability through rounded-rectangular, superellipse-based forms and a dense, compact rhythm. The slightly carved joins and blunt terminals suggest a deliberate effort to add character and distinctiveness while keeping the overall construction simple and robust.
At smaller sizes, the tight counters and narrow openings may start to fill in, so the design’s strongest impact is in display contexts where the silhouette and rhythm can read clearly. The distinctive notches and blocky terminals create a recognizable texture in headlines and short phrases.
