A dense, heavy sans with broad, rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared corners. Curves are built from superellipse-like bowls and counters, giving letters a blocky silhouette without sharp terminals. Strokes feel mostly even, with occasional ink-trap-like notches and wedge-shaped cut-ins that add texture and help open counters at tight joins. Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy; lowercase is similarly weighty, with short extenders and simplified shapes that keep color very consistent across words. Numerals follow the same chunky geometry, reading clearly at display sizes with wide, stable forms.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can work well on packaging and signage thanks to its sturdy forms and consistent texture, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is bold and attention-seeking, balancing friendly roundness with a tough, poster-like solidity. Its slightly quirky cut-ins and compressed internal spaces add a playful, retro edge that feels energetic rather than formal.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a softened, geometric feel—combining rounded-rectangle forms with strategic cut-ins to keep shapes recognizable and counters from clogging at heavy weight. The result prioritizes strong silhouette, high presence, and a distinctive display personality.
Spacing and rhythm produce a strong, uniform “black” on the line, making it visually impactful in short bursts. The angular notches and squared terminals create distinctive word shapes, while the rounded construction keeps the texture approachable.
