A heavy, soft-cornered sans with squared-off bowls and broadly rounded rectangles throughout. Strokes are thick with noticeable modulation in a few joins and curves, and many terminals finish bluntly rather than tapering to points. Counters tend to be small and boxy, with a distinctive, slightly “cut-in” shaping at some inner corners that reads like an ink-trap or notched construction. Overall rhythm is solid and compact, with wide letterforms and an even, blocky texture that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display work such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where its chunky forms and distinctive notched details can read clearly. It also works well for short UI labels or signage at larger sizes, where the bold texture and wide proportions support quick scanning.
The tone is bold and approachable, with a clear mid-century/retro display flavor. Its softened geometry and chunky silhouettes feel upbeat and slightly whimsical, lending a confident, poster-like presence without becoming harsh or mechanical.
The design appears aimed at delivering a strong, retro-leaning display voice built from softened geometric shapes and bold mass. The notched inner corners and compact counters suggest an intention to add personality and print-minded character while maintaining a clean sans framework.
The sample text shows strong word-shape clarity at large sizes, while the dense weight and tight apertures suggest it will feel darker and more decorative as sizes drop. Curves and joins lean toward engineered geometry rather than handwriting, and the distinctive inner notches give the face a recognizable signature in headings.
