A compact, heavy sans with softened corners and a rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, blocky silhouettes and strong color on the page. Counters are relatively tight (notably in e, a, o, and 8), and apertures tend to be small, emphasizing solidity over airiness. Curves resolve into squarish bowls, and terminals are consistently blunted, giving the alphabet a cohesive, molded feel. Figures follow the same chunky geometry, with clear, simplified forms suited to bold display settings.
Best suited to display roles where impact and immediacy matter, such as headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold brand marks. It can also work for packaging and social graphics where a friendly, high-contrast-to-background presence is needed, but it is less ideal for small text due to its tight counters and dense texture.
The overall tone is upbeat and personable, pairing assertive weight with gentle rounding. It suggests a modernized retro sensibility—more friendly than industrial—making it feel energetic, casual, and easy to approach.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver maximum visibility and character through compact, rounded geometry—balancing a strong, attention-grabbing weight with softened edges for warmth and approachability.
The design’s tight internal space and compact proportions create a strong, poster-like rhythm, especially in longer lines where the dark texture becomes a dominant visual feature. Distinctive superelliptical curves keep the style consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
