A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and broad, low-contrast curves cut into solid forms. Strokes read as mostly monolinear in principle, but the design relies on large ink traps and deep horizontal slicing that creates strong black/white bite in letters like E, S, and Z. Counters are compact and often superelliptical, with terminals that feel chamfered or softly squared rather than fully circular. Proportions are expansive and poster-like, with a tall x-height and wide, stable bowls that keep the rhythm dense and graphic.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of copy where its mass and rounded-rect styling can do the work—posters, bold branding, product packaging, event graphics, and logo wordmarks. It can also fit sports or entertainment identities that want a strong, playful impact.
The overall tone is bold and attention-grabbing, with a friendly, toy-like softness from the rounded corners paired with a tough, heavy mass. It carries a distinctly retro display flavor—confident, a bit quirky, and built to feel loud and immediate rather than refined.
The design appears intended to maximize presence and memorability through oversized forms, compact counters, and a signature system of horizontal bites and notches. Its geometry prioritizes a friendly, engineered feel—softened corners and superellipse-like curves—while maintaining a solid, billboard-level silhouette.
Distinctive horizontal cut-ins and notches give the face a branded, stencil-adjacent personality without breaking letters into separate parts. Numerals echo the same wide, flattened construction; the 0 is strongly rounded, while 2 and 3 emphasize long horizontal sweeps. The lowercase stays robust and readable at display sizes, with simple, blocky joins and minimal modulation.
