A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly consistent stroke weight. Curves are flattened into soft superelliptical arcs, while many joins and terminals are cut on slight angles, creating a subtly faceted, carved look. Counters are generous and open, with simplified, geometric interior shapes that keep forms readable despite the dense silhouette. Overall proportions favor a high x-height and short ascenders/descenders, giving lowercase a sturdy, stacked rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, packaging, and identity work where bold shapes and rounded geometry can carry a brand voice. It also works well for signage and labels, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the angled terminals and superelliptical curves remain crisp and intentional.
The font reads bold and upbeat, with a toy-like solidity and a mildly eccentric edge from its angled cuts and squared-off curves. It suggests retro sign lettering and contemporary display branding at the same time, balancing friendliness with a punchy, attention-grabbing presence.
Likely designed as a display sans that emphasizes rounded-rectangle geometry for a friendly, contemporary feel, while introducing angled terminals to add energy and distinctiveness. The goal appears to be strong visual presence with simple, legible counters and a compact, logo-ready silhouette.
Uppercase forms feel compact and architectural, while the lowercase introduces more character through asymmetric cuts and slightly varied curve handling. Figures are large and sturdy, matching the letter weight and maintaining clear differentiation at a glance.
