A heavy, block-based sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with small counters and rectangular apertures that give letters a stamped, cut-out feel. Curves are handled as superelliptic bends rather than true circles, and many joins show subtle notches and angled cut-ins that read like ink traps or chiseled facets. The overall silhouette is wide and squat, with sturdy verticals and flat terminals that keep the texture dense and highly graphic in text.
Best suited to display settings where impact and personality matter: posters, headlines, game or entertainment titles, bold branding marks, and packaging. It can work for short UI labels or badges when set large enough for the tight counters to remain clear.
The tone is bold and game-like, combining a friendly softness from the rounded geometry with a punchy, assertive presence. Its chunky forms and squared curves evoke retro arcade, toy packaging, and comic display lettering, projecting an energetic, slightly mischievous character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a rounded, geometric construction, pairing friendly corners with assertive, blocky mass. The faceted cut-ins and tight apertures suggest a deliberate effort to add character and texture while keeping the overall forms simple and highly recognizable at display sizes.
Distinctive cut-ins and occasional asymmetries create a lively rhythm across words, while the very small internal spaces can make long passages feel dark at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same blocky, rounded-rectangle logic, staying consistent with the alphabet’s strong, poster-oriented voice.
