A very heavy, rounded sans with softened corners and broad, compact proportions. Many strokes terminate in squared ends with small interior cut-ins and notches, creating a subtle stencil-like, segmented construction while remaining fully connected. Bowls are generous and smooth, counters stay open at display sizes, and the overall rhythm is dense and blocky with stable verticals and simple geometry. Uppercase forms feel squat and confident, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, even texture with straightforward single-storey shapes where applicable.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where its heavy weight and distinctive cut-in details can be appreciated. It can also work for short signage and labels, especially when a friendly retro-industrial feel is desired.
The font conveys a playful, retro-industrial tone—bold and approachable with a toy-like solidity. Its distinctive notches add a quirky engineered flavor, giving headlines a branded, attention-grabbing voice without feeling sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a memorable construction detail—combining a soft, rounded sans foundation with engineered notches that differentiate it for branding and punchy display typography.
The signature detail is the repeated internal cut and stepped joins in letters like B, E, F, and P, which reads as an intentional construction motif rather than ornament. Numerals match the same chunky weight and roundedness, supporting cohesive display typography.
