A heavy, rounded sans with softly squared curves and gently flattened bowls that read as superelliptical rather than purely circular. Strokes are thick and even, with closed apertures in several forms and compact counters that increase color density. Terminals are blunt and clean, corners are consistently rounded, and curves feel slightly boxy, creating a sturdy, engineered rhythm. Proportions lean wide and stable in capitals, while lowercase forms keep a compact, solid silhouette with minimal contrast and straightforward construction.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a bold, rounded voice is needed. It can work for signage and UI callouts when set with generous spacing, but its dense color suggests using it primarily for emphasis rather than long-form reading.
The tone is bold and approachable, balancing a utilitarian solidity with a playful softness from the rounded corners. Its dense, chunky shapes evoke a retro, poster-like confidence while staying friendly and non-threatening. Overall it feels energetic and attention-forward without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, contemporary-retro feel, using superelliptical shapes to keep forms sturdy while avoiding harshness. It emphasizes consistency, strong silhouette recognition, and a compact, high-ink presence for attention-grabbing typography.
In text, the strong weight produces a dark, even texture and favors short lines and larger sizes where counters and joins stay clear. The rounded-square geometry gives headlines a distinctive “soft industrial” character that remains consistent across letters and numerals.
