A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and compact apertures, built from chunky strokes and curved rectangular bowls. Many joins and terminals feel carved or notched, creating an ink-trap-like bite in places (notably around interior counters and some diagonals), which adds texture to the otherwise smooth silhouette. The overall rhythm is wide and steady, with simplified geometry, single-story forms in the lowercase, and a sturdy, blocky set of numerals that maintains the same rounded-square construction.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster titles, brand marks, and packaging where its chunky forms can be appreciated. It also fits sporty or arcade-inspired graphics, event promotions, and bold UI labels when used at comfortable sizes with ample tracking.
The tone reads bold and game-like, mixing 1970s sci‑fi/tech signage energy with a friendly, cartoonish softness. Its chunky shapes and intentional notches suggest motion and impact, giving headlines a confident, playful punch.
The design appears intended as a distinctive display sans that feels contemporary and retro at once, using rounded, modular construction and deliberate cut-ins to create recognizability and punch. It prioritizes silhouette and personality over neutrality, aiming for strong presence in branding and title typography.
Counters tend to be small and often squared-off, and several letters use asymmetric cuts or wedge-like openings that create a distinctive, custom display voice. The spacing looks generous at large sizes, while the dense shapes and tight apertures can make long passages feel heavy if set too small.
