A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction and smoothly softened corners. Curves are broad and superelliptical, with minimal modulation and a sturdy, even stroke presence. Counters tend to be compact and closed, and many joins and terminals resolve into squared ends with rounded edges, creating a carved, chunky silhouette. Overall spacing and proportions favor dense, high-impact word shapes with clear, simple geometry.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of copy where weight and silhouette can do the work—posters, display typography, branding marks, packaging, and storefront or wayfinding-style signage. It can also serve as a strong supporting face for emphasis in layouts, but its dense forms are most effective at larger sizes.
The tone is bold and approachable, blending a utilitarian, poster-like solidity with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. Its compact counters and chunky forms give it a slightly retro, consumer-signage energy that reads as confident and attention-seeking rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with simple, geometric shapes, using rounded-rectangle forms to stay friendly while remaining assertive. It prioritizes bold readability and a consistent, cohesive texture for display settings.
Round letters like O and C appear more like softened boxes than pure circles, reinforcing a superellipse rhythm across the set. The numerals mirror the same sturdy geometry, and the punctuation in the samples sits with the same weighty presence, helping maintain a consistent, emphatic texture in lines of text.
