A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with broad proportions and tightly packed counters. Strokes are monolinear in concept but shaped by large corner radii and deep, notch-like cut-ins that read like ink-traps or stencil breaks, especially where curves transition into stems and bowls. Terminals are consistently blunt and squared-off, and many letters show flattened curves and squared bowls, producing a superelliptical, machined rhythm. The numerals and lowercase follow the same chunky geometry, with compact apertures and strong internal cutouts that help keep forms distinct at large sizes.
Best suited to large-format display work where its chunky superelliptical forms and stencil-like cut-ins can read clearly—such as posters, bold editorial headings, logo wordmarks, and packaging. It can also work well for energetic brand systems, event graphics, and sports or product labels where impact and personality matter more than quiet readability.
The overall tone is bold and attention-grabbing, with a playful retro feel tempered by an industrial, fabricated edge. Its soft corners keep it friendly, while the carved notches add grit and a sense of engineered structure, making it feel both fun and forceful.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence with a rounded, modern block structure, while using deliberate cut-ins to preserve clarity and add a signature texture. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a distinctive surface rhythm for branding and headline settings.
Spacing in the samples appears intentionally tight, enhancing the compact, poster-like density. The distinctive notches create recognizable silhouettes and can add texture in headlines, but they also make the texture busier as sizes get smaller.
