A heavy, soft-cornered sans with a rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction that keeps curves broad and corners gently eased rather than fully circular. Strokes are thick and steady with compact apertures and counters, producing dense, poster-like silhouettes. The design mixes straight-sided geometry with swelling curves—especially in bowls and rounded letters—creating a solid rhythm across lines. Terminals tend to be squared-off with subtle rounding, and punctuation/dots appear as rounded rectangles, reinforcing the cohesive, block-based theme.
Best used for headlines, display typography, posters, bold branding, packaging, and short callouts where strong presence is required. It can work for large-size text blocks in marketing or editorial settings, but its dense counters and heavy color favor bigger sizes and generous spacing over long-form reading.
The overall tone is confident and loud, with a friendly bluntness that feels both retro and industrial. Its wide, weighty forms read as assertive and humorous, making it well suited to attention-grabbing messages where personality matters as much as clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive rounded-rect geometry, pairing strong block forms with softened corners for approachability. It aims to stay highly legible at display sizes while projecting a bold, modern-retro character.
Uppercase forms present as sturdy and architectural, while lowercase maintains the same blocky logic with rounded joins and short, thick arms. Numerals are equally robust and compact, matching the text color closely so mixed alphanumeric settings stay visually even.
