A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves throughout. Counters are relatively small and apertures are tight, producing a dense, high-ink silhouette with strong horizontal/vertical stability. Terminals are blunt and squared-off, while bowls and rounds lean toward superelliptical shapes rather than true circles, giving an engineered, “molded” feel. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with single-storey shapes and minimal differentiation between similar structures; numerals match the same blocky, rounded logic for a unified texture in lines of text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing branding where its dense mass and rounded-square forms read as a deliberate style. It can work well for logos, packaging, and bold signage, especially when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing to offset the tight interior space.
The overall tone is loud, confident, and approachable—more fun and poster-forward than neutral. Its softened corners keep the weight from feeling aggressive, while the chunky proportions suggest retro display typography and contemporary branding that wants immediate visibility.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, rounded-block aesthetic—combining strong legibility at display sizes with a distinctive superelliptical voice for branding and editorial emphasis.
At text sizes the tight counters and closed apertures can darken quickly, while at large sizes the rounded-rectangle geometry becomes a defining personality trait. The rhythm is consistent and mechanical, making it feel cohesive in all-caps settings and short bursts of copy.
