A heavy, blocky sans with squarish proportions, rounded corners, and softened terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with gentle modulation created by small interior notches and bite-like cut-ins at corners, producing a slightly stencil-like, inktrap-adjacent texture. Counters are compact and often rectangular (notably in O, P, R, and numerals), and the overall silhouette favors sturdy, low-detail geometry over sharp precision. Curves are minimized into rounded rectangles, while joins and diagonals are simplified to keep the rhythm bold and graphic at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where strong silhouettes and a playful voice are desired. It can work well for packaging, event graphics, entertainment or game-adjacent design, and signage that needs a friendly, high-impact look. For best clarity, give it generous tracking and avoid very small sizes where counters may fill in.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a cartoony, game-like solidity that feels retro without being tied to a specific era. Its chunky shapes and softened edges read as friendly and informal, while the cut-in details add a quirky, engineered personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, rounded block aesthetic, combining simple geometric construction with small corner cut-ins to add character and improve texture in tight, heavy shapes. It aims for a distinctive display voice that remains highly legible at larger sizes while feeling informal and approachable.
Letterforms tend to look slightly modular, with repeated corner treatments and consistent counter shapes that create a cohesive texture across words. The distinctive corner cut-ins can help prevent dark clumping in dense settings, but the compact counters and heavy mass still favor headline and short-line use over extended text.
