Keywords: headlines, posters, logos, packaging, signage, industrial, poster, punchy, playful, impact, branding, retro display, blocky, rounded, geometric, compressed apertures, heavy black.
A dense, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle construction and strongly simplified counters. Strokes stay consistently heavy, with vertical sides and softened corners creating a superellipse feel across bowls and joints. Apertures are narrow and counters are small, producing a dark, compact texture in words. Terminals are blunt and squared off, and several forms show subtle notched/angled cut-ins that add snap without introducing true serifs.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It can work for brief subheads or labels where strong silhouette recognition matters more than open counters for long reading.
The overall tone is loud and assertive, leaning toward retro display and industrial signage. Its chunky, rounded geometry reads friendly but forceful, giving headlines a confident, slightly playful toughness.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a geometric, rounded-rect silhouette, prioritizing punchy presence and compact word shapes for display typography.
The rhythm is tight due to the small interior spaces and broad letterforms, so the face gains impact as size increases. Curved letters (like O/C/S) look more like softened rectangles than true circles, reinforcing a constructed, modular personality.
