A heavy, geometric sans with soft corners and a distinctly constructed feel. Many counters are reduced to slits or fully collapsed, turning letters like O, a, e, o, 8, and 9 into near-solid forms with minimal interior openings. Strokes are generally uniform and monolinear, with broad curves and blunt terminals; diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) are sturdy and simplified. Proportions are compact, with a relatively small x-height and a squat, poster-oriented rhythm that emphasizes mass over whitespace.
Best suited for large-size display settings such as posters, headlines, short branding lines, packaging, and logo wordmarks where its dense silhouettes can read clearly. It works well when a strong graphic block of text is desired, and is less appropriate for long passages or small UI/body copy due to the collapsed counters.
The typeface reads as playful and attention-grabbing, with a strong mod/retro flavor. Its near-solid shapes and softened geometry create a toy-like, graphic tone that feels friendly but also slightly eccentric due to the intentionally constrained counters.
The design appears intended to turn familiar sans-serif structures into solid, highly graphic letterforms by minimizing interior space and emphasizing simple geometry. The goal is impact and memorability, prioritizing silhouette and texture over conventional legibility at text sizes.
Readability drops quickly at smaller sizes because interior spaces are minimized, but the silhouettes remain distinctive. Round forms are especially dominant, and the design maintains a consistent, cut-out-like logic across letters and figures, giving text a bold, stamped appearance.
