A heavy, highly compacted display sans with wide, blocky proportions and generously rounded outer corners. Letterforms are built from broad horizontal masses and simplified curves, with consistent notch-like cut-ins and small, squared apertures that create a slightly “carved” look. Counters tend to be small and rounded, and terminals are mostly blunt with occasional stepped shapes, producing a strong, poster-friendly silhouette and an even, mechanical rhythm across text.
Best suited to large-scale applications where its chunky shapes and signature cut-ins can read clearly: headlines, posters, event graphics, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or titles in entertainment contexts (arcade, sci‑fi, kids) when used sparingly.
The overall tone feels retro-futuristic and game-like—bold, friendly, and slightly industrial. The repeated cut-ins and soft corners give it a playful personality while still reading as sturdy and assertive.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive, sculpted sans silhouette—combining rounded geometry with repeated notch details to create a recognizable, themed display voice.
The face relies on distinctive internal cutouts (notably in letters like E, S, and many lowercase forms), which adds character but also increases visual texture in longer lines. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction and maintain strong presence at display sizes.
