A heavy, block-built sans with softened, rounded-rectangle curves and largely closed apertures. Strokes are uniformly thick, with compact counters and generous ink coverage that creates a strong, poster-like silhouette. The geometry favors squarish bowls and superelliptical rounds, while joins and terminals stay blunt and clean rather than tapered. Spacing appears tight and the overall rhythm is dense, producing a solid texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short statements where maximum impact is needed. It also fits branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from a friendly but forceful geometric presence, especially when set with comfortable tracking and generous line spacing.
The tone is bold and approachable, leaning toward a playful retro display feel. Its chunky shapes and rounded corners give it a friendly, toy-like confidence, while the dense black mass reads as assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, geometric display typography with rounded-rectangle character—prioritizing strong silhouettes and a cohesive, superelliptical construction over delicate detail or open readability in long text.
Round characters (such as O/0) read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, reinforcing the geometric theme. Counters remain small at display sizes, and the overall color can become quite dark in paragraphs, suggesting it’s meant to be used big and with ample breathing room.
