A heavy, geometric sans with rounded corners and squared-off curves that create a soft-rectangular silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and counters are small, producing dense, high-impact letterforms. Many glyphs show tight apertures and subtle notch-like cut-ins (an ink-trap-like feel), while joins and terminals stay blunt and clean. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with single-storey a and g and a tall, prominent x-height; numerals follow the same compact, blocky construction for a uniform texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where dense, high-contrast-to-background shapes can do the work. It can also fit energetic branding, sports or team marks, and bold UI callouts when used at larger sizes with ample spacing.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, blending a retro display sensibility with a playful, toy-like solidity. Its softened corners keep the weight from feeling aggressive, while the tight counters and compact shapes add punch and confidence.
Likely intended as an attention-grabbing display sans that maximizes impact through dense strokes, simplified geometry, and softened corners. The consistent construction across caps, lowercase, and figures suggests a focus on creating a cohesive, brandable voice rather than a neutral text workhorse.
The design favors strong silhouette recognition over open internal space, so it reads best when given a bit of breathing room (slightly looser tracking and generous line spacing). The distinctive notches and compact apertures become a defining texture in larger settings and can appear visually busy at very small sizes.
