A heavy, rounded sans with squared-off superellipse construction: curves feel like softened rectangles rather than perfect circles. Strokes are monolinear and blunt-ended, with generous rounding at corners and joins. Proportions are compact with a tall lowercase and short ascenders/descenders, producing a dense, poster-like texture. Counters are tight and often rectangular, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) read as broad, simplified wedges that keep the overall rhythm uniform and weighty.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, branding, and packaging where its chunky geometry can read cleanly at larger sizes. It also fits signage, labels, and UI hero moments where a friendly, sturdy display voice is desired.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a distinctly chunky, retro-leaning confidence. Its soft-cornered geometry feels friendly rather than aggressive, while the dense weight gives it an assertive, attention-grabbing voice suited to display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with softened geometry—combining a strong blocky silhouette with rounded corners for an approachable, contemporary-retro feel. The uniform stroke and compact proportions prioritize bold presence and consistent texture across letters and numerals.
In the sample text, the combination of tight counters and heavy weight can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, especially in crowded words and in letters with enclosed bowls. The numerals match the same rounded-rectangular logic and appear designed for visual consistency in headlines and badges rather than long-form reading.
