A chunky, rounded-rectangle sans with heavily blunted corners and largely straight-sided strokes. Curves are built from superellipse-like bowls and counters, producing squarish ‘O’/‘0’ shapes and generally rectangular interior spaces. Terminals are flat and weight is distributed evenly, giving a dense, poster-ready texture; narrow apertures and tight counters add to the compact feel. The lowercase shows single-storey forms and a tall, prominent x-height, while the numerals mirror the same squared-off, softened geometry for a consistent set.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where its dense shapes and rounded-block construction can carry impact—posters, branding marks, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when you want a sturdy, friendly presence, but its tight counters suggest avoiding very small sizes for longer text.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining an industrial, stamped sign quality with a playful softness from the rounded corners. It reads as retro-leaning and confident, with a friendly mass that feels at home in energetic, attention-grabbing settings.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual weight with softened, geometric edges—prioritizing strong silhouettes, compact spacing, and a cohesive rounded-rectangle theme for high-impact display use.
The design emphasizes strong verticals and simple construction, with counters that stay small at heavier sizes, increasing the sense of solidity. The squarish rounding is consistent across letters and figures, reinforcing a unified, logo-like silhouette in words.
