A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with soft corners and a compact, blocky silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with moderate contrast, and counters tend to be small and squarish, giving the face a dense, poster-ready texture. Terminals are blunt and uniformly rounded, while joins stay smooth and simplified; several shapes show subtle ink-trap-like notches where strokes meet. Uppercase forms feel tall and sturdy, and lowercase letters maintain a sturdy, mechanical rhythm with simplified bowls and apertures.
Best suited to headlines and short-form text where weight and shape can do the work: posters, packaging fronts, bold branding, labels, and signage. It also fits logo wordmarks and sports- or entertainment-adjacent graphics where a chunky, rounded voice is desired.
The overall tone is confident and approachable, combining a sturdy industrial heft with a playful softness from the rounded geometry. It reads as retro-leaning and display-forward, projecting punch and friendliness rather than refinement.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a soft-edged, geometric construction, prioritizing strong silhouettes and uniform rhythm over delicate detail. The consistent rounding and dense counters suggest an intention to stay friendly and legible in bold display sizes while retaining a distinctive, slightly industrial character.
The narrowed interior spaces and minimal apertures can reduce clarity at small sizes, but the strong silhouettes and consistent rounding hold together well in large settings. Numerals follow the same rounded, compact construction and feel visually aligned with the caps.
