A heavy, rounded-rect sans with chunky strokes and softly squared corners throughout. The shapes favor superellipse bowls and counters, with compact apertures and short, blunt terminals that keep silhouettes solid and uniform. Curves are simplified into smooth, flattened rounds rather than circles, producing a sturdy, modular rhythm. Counters are relatively small and often rectangular/oval, and the overall spacing feels tight and purposeful for big, punchy settings.
Well-suited to attention-grabbing headlines, posters, and bold brand marks where a compact, blocky voice is desirable. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, high-impact look. Use with comfortable tracking and ample size to preserve interior clarity.
The tone is bold and friendly with a retro-industrial edge—confident, toy-like, and slightly arcade-like. Its squared rounds and compact openings give it a tough, stamped feel, while the generous corner rounding keeps it approachable rather than aggressive.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact through simplified geometry and rounded-square construction, creating a strong silhouette that stays consistent across the alphabet and numerals. The overall intention feels like a display face that blends industrial solidity with approachable, playful rounding.
The design reads best when allowed to stay large, where its distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry is clear and the tight interior spaces don’t fill in. Numerals match the same blocky construction, supporting consistent headline and display composition.
