A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared counters. Strokes are thick and even, with subtly irregular terminals that feel slightly inked or cut rather than mechanically perfect. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) read as squarish ovals, while straights (E, F, H, I) keep a firm, condensed stance; overall spacing is tight and the rhythm is punchy. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy, with short extenders and minimal detailing, keeping the texture dense and highly graphic.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can work well for signage and labels, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded-square detailing and slight ruggedness remain clear.
The tone is bold and attention-grabbing, blending utilitarian signage energy with a friendly, approachable softness from the rounded corners. The slight roughness adds a handmade, poster-like attitude that can feel both retro and contemporary depending on color and layout.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in a compact footprint, using rounded-rect geometry to stay friendly while maintaining a tough, utilitarian presence. The lightly irregular finish suggests an intention to feel more tactile and human than a purely geometric display sans.
In text, the dense weight creates strong word shapes and high impact, especially in short lines. Some characters take on a subtly “cut” look at joins and terminals, contributing to a rugged, print-forward texture.
