A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense black shapes and sturdy counters. Curves read as superelliptical and squared-off rather than circular, while joins and terminals stay blunt and compact. The lowercase is large and robust, with short extenders and simple, single-storey forms; the overall rhythm feels tightly packed and highly graphic.
Best suited to large-size display work where its dense forms and rounded-rect shapes can read clearly: headlines, posters, packaging callouts, bold branding, and playful editorial titling. It can also work for short labels or UI hero moments when strong emphasis is needed, but it’s less appropriate for long passages at small sizes due to tight counters and heavy color.
The tone is bold and upbeat, leaning toward a toy-like, poster-friendly personality rather than a neutral text voice. Its softened geometry keeps it approachable, while the sheer mass and compact spacing make it feel loud, confident, and slightly retro.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, softened industrial feel—combining slabby mass with rounded-rectangle curves for a distinctive, highly graphic voice in display typography.
Counters are relatively small for the weight, so interior whitespace can close up at smaller sizes. The numerals and capitals match the same chunky, rounded-rect style, giving a very uniform, logo-like texture across mixed-case settings.
