A heavy, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle construction and visibly softened corners. Curves tend to resolve into squarish bowls and broad, flat terminals, producing a compact, poster-like texture with minimal internal counters. The outlines feel tightly drawn and geometric, with a slightly irregular rhythm across characters that reinforces a cut, stamped, or molded look rather than a delicate text face.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, packaging panels, and bold signage where the chunky silhouettes can do the work. It can also function for energetic subheads or callouts when paired with a simpler text face.
The overall tone is loud, assertive, and a bit cheeky—more billboard than book. Its rounded squareness reads friendly at a distance while the dense black mass and tight counters add grit and impact, evoking retro signage, sports branding, and industrial labeling.
Designed to deliver maximum visual mass with a rounded, geometric voice—prioritizing immediate legibility and strong silhouette over fine detail. The intent appears to be a contemporary take on retro, blocky display typography that stays approachable through softened corners and rounded-square forms.
The font’s small apertures and dense interiors make it most confident at larger sizes, where the rounded-square detailing and chunky shapes remain clear. Numerals and capitals share the same compact, weighty presence, keeping lines of text visually uniform and strongly horizontal.
