A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, with tight internal counters and squared-off terminals that keep the forms blunt and stable. Curves feel superelliptical rather than circular, producing a squarish roundness in letters like O/Q and the bowls of B/P/R. The overall rhythm is dense and poster-like, with simplified joins and minimal detailing for strong silhouette clarity.
Best suited for headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and short promotional copy where strong presence is needed. It also works well for signage and label-style typography thanks to its sturdy shapes and clear, simplified silhouettes. For longer text, the tight counters and dense weight suggest using generous size and spacing.
The tone is confident and approachable, combining a utilitarian solidity with a playful softness from the rounded corners. It evokes retro display lettering and contemporary branding that wants to feel bold without becoming aggressive. The dense shapes and compact apertures add a punchy, attention-grabbing character.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans built from rounded-rectilinear geometry, balancing friendliness with firmness. Its simplified details and compact proportions prioritize bold readability and a distinctive, brandable texture in large sizes.
The uppercase set reads especially geometric and uniform, while the lowercase introduces more vernacular, single-storey forms and compact counters that increase the casual feel. Numerals are robust and highly graphic, with simplified construction that favors impact over fine differentiation at small sizes.
