A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and gently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, with tight internal counters and short apertures that give letters a solid, stamped presence. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls, while joins and terminals stay blunt and squared-off, creating a consistent, modular rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase appears relatively large compared to the caps, supporting strong visibility at display sizes.
Works best for headlines, posters, and logo-style wordmarks where a dense, high-impact silhouette is desirable. The chunky forms and compact counters also suit packaging, labels, and apparel graphics, especially when set large or in short bursts of text.
The overall tone is bold and extroverted, blending industrial toughness with a friendly, toy-like softness from the rounded geometry. It reads as energetic and slightly nostalgic, suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet body text.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual weight and immediacy while keeping shapes approachable through rounded, superellipse-based curves. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent geometry for display-driven typography.
Spacing and shapes feel intentionally compact, with many letters showing compressed counters (notably in bowls and enclosed forms), which increases color on the page and strengthens impact. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectilinear logic, keeping the set cohesive in headings and badges.
