A heavy, block-like sans with softened corners and clear stroke modulation that thickens on verticals while thinning at joins and curves. Shapes lean toward squarish bowls and counters (notably in C, O, and e), giving an overall compact, sturdy texture. Terminals are predominantly flat but rounded off, and several letters show sculpted notches or chamfer-like cut-ins at interior joints, adding a distinctive, stamped look. Numerals and capitals follow the same chunky geometry, with simple, wide forms and consistent black mass.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short blocks of display text where its chunky forms and sculpted details can be appreciated. It can work well for branding, packaging, and signage that wants a friendly retro tone with strong impact, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font reads as upbeat and approachable, with a retro display sensibility and a slightly industrial, sign-painting feel. Its soft corners keep the weight from feeling aggressive, while the thick strokes and squared curves give it confident, poster-ready presence.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a distinctive, softened geometric voice—combining sturdy, rectangular construction with rounded finishing and deliberate interior shaping to create a memorable display texture.
Spacing appears generous enough to keep dense black shapes from clogging in text, and the wide apertures in letters like c, e, and s help maintain clarity at larger sizes. The design’s distinctive inner cut-ins and squarish bowls create a strong rhythmic pattern that becomes a recognizable texture in lines of copy.
