A heavy, rounded-rectangle display sans with soft corners, squarish bowls, and generous, uniform stroke weight. Many glyphs feature small rectangular notches or slit-like openings that create compact counters and a subtly stenciled feel, while keeping the overall silhouettes solid and monolithic. Curves are minimized into superelliptic turns, producing a consistent, geometric rhythm across letters and figures, with simplified joins and terminals that stay blunt and rounded.
Best suited for short display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and logo wordmarks where its chunky shapes and notched details can be appreciated. It can also work for labels, stickers, and playful branding, particularly at moderate to large sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a nostalgic arcade/toy sensibility. Its chunky geometry and distinctive cut-ins read as friendly and attention-grabbing rather than formal, giving it a playful, graphic voice that feels suited to fun, energetic messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft, geometric silhouette and a signature system of cut-in details that adds character without introducing ornament or serifs. It prioritizes strong, compact shapes and a consistent rounded-rect geometry for distinctive display readability.
The distinctive internal cuts and notched terminals become a strong identifying motif, especially in letters with bowls and in the numerals, giving the font a recognizable ‘molded’ or ‘carved’ texture. Counters are small and ink-trap-like, so the design reads best when it has room to breathe.
