A heavy, rounded-rect sans with a distinctly squarish skeleton: curves resolve into broad superellipse bowls and softly chamfered corners rather than true circles. Strokes are dense and uniform, with tight, compact counters and short apertures that give letters like C, S, and e a sturdy, closed-in feel. Terminals tend to be flat and blunt, and many joins read as engineered blocks rather than calligraphic forms, producing a strong, poster-like color on the page. The lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey construction (notably a and g), reinforcing the geometric, toy-brick rhythm across text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where impact and a distinctive silhouette matter most. It can work well for packaging, sports or event graphics, and playful editorial callouts, especially at larger sizes where the compact counters have room to breathe.
The overall tone is confident and exuberant, with a friendly heft that feels a bit retro and game-like. Its rounded-square geometry adds a playful softness while still reading as strong and punchy, making it feel energetic rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a softened, rounded-square personality—combining geometric consistency with approachable, fun display energy for attention-grabbing typography.
In longer lines the tight counters and thick strokes can compress internal detail, so spacing and size become important for clarity. Numerals follow the same chunky geometry, with especially bold, rectangular silhouettes that suit display settings.
