A heavy, wide sans with rounded rectangular construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and consistently weighted, with broad bowls and generous counters that keep forms legible despite the mass. Many letters show subtly angled terminals and slightly carved joins that add a cutout feel, especially where horizontals meet verticals. Spacing appears tight and the overall footprint is dense, producing a strong, blocky texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and bold brand statements. It also works well for logo wordmarks and display typography where its chunky shapes and wide stance can be appreciated. For longer passages, it performs most comfortably at larger sizes where the carved details and counters remain clear.
The overall tone is upbeat and attention-grabbing, with a distinctly retro, poster-like personality. Its rounded heft and slight quirks give it a friendly, comic-adjacent flavor rather than a strictly corporate feel. The silhouette reads as bold and confident, designed to be seen quickly and remembered.
This design appears intended as a display sans that blends solid, rounded geometry with small, stylized cuts to create a distinctive, high-visibility voice. It aims to deliver strong presence and friendly character while maintaining simple, readable letterforms for headline use.
Uppercase forms are particularly squat and sturdy, while the lowercase keeps a large, open presence with simple, single-storey shapes where applicable. Numerals match the same chunky geometry, and the round forms (O, o, 0, 8, 9) emphasize wide, oval counters that reinforce the font’s brawny rhythm. The sample text shows strong line color and consistent weight across different letter combinations, with distinctive notched or scooped details adding character at larger sizes.
