A heavy, block-forward sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with broad stems, squared curves, and softened corners that keep the silhouette friendly despite the mass. Counters are compact and often squared-off, and several joins show deliberate angular "nicks" or cut-ins that create a chiseled, modular rhythm. Uppercase forms read as stout and poster-like, while the lowercase maintains a large x-height and simplified construction for strong presence. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded-rect logic, staying highly uniform and bold on the page.
Best suited to large sizes where its chunky geometry and cut-in details can be appreciated—posters, bold headlines, branding marks, packaging, and short signage. It can also work for punchy subheads or callouts, but the dense texture and compact counters make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is confident and high-impact, mixing industrial toughness with a slightly playful, retro display flavor. The notched details add a mechanical, stamped feel that can read energetic and attention-grabbing in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a constructed, superellipse-inspired look—combining rounded-rectangle warmth with hard-edged, notched accents for a distinctive display voice.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and compact in running samples, emphasizing dense texture and strong word shapes. The design favors flat terminals and geometric consistency over calligraphic nuance, making it feel more like a constructed display face than a text workhorse.
