A heavy, rounded-rect sans with superelliptical bowls and broadly squared curves. Strokes stay largely uniform but show crisp internal cut-ins that create small notches at joins and tight counters, giving the letters a carved, molded look. The face has a large x-height, short-to-moderate ascenders and descenders, and generally wide proportions, with slightly varying widths across glyphs. Terminals are blunt and softly rounded, and the overall texture reads dense and dark with clear, geometric rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and bold signage. It can work for short blurbs or labels, but the tight counters and dense color suggest using generous size and spacing for maximum clarity.
The tone is bold and friendly with a retro, toy-like solidity. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the sharp inner cutaways add attitude and a mildly industrial, poster-like punch.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a soft, rounded silhouette, combining geometric superellipse construction with strategic inner cut-ins to keep shapes recognizable under heavy weight. It aims for a distinctive, contemporary-retro voice that remains friendly rather than aggressive.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and compact apertures that emphasize mass over openness. Numerals are similarly blocky and rounded, with the same inset cuts that help maintain distinction at display sizes.
