A heavy, soft-cornered sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with compact internal counters that read as narrow vertical or horizontal slots, creating an ink-trap or stencil-adjacent feel. The geometry favors squared rounds and flattened curves, giving letters a sturdy, blocky footprint; diagonals are simplified and terminals stay blunt rather than tapered. Spacing and sidebearings feel generous for such dense shapes, helping the dark color stay legible in text while preserving a strong, graphic rhythm.
Best suited to large sizes where the compact counters and distinctive openings become an asset: posters, headlines, packaging, signage, and bold branding marks. It can work for short paragraphs or punchy subheads when generous tracking and comfortable line spacing are used, but it is primarily a display voice.
The overall tone is bold and characterful, combining a mid-century display sensibility with a toy-like friendliness. Its rounded squareness and slot-like apertures add a slightly industrial, sign-painter/print vibe, making it feel energetic and attention-grabbing rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft, geometric personality—pairing rounded-rectangular construction with tight counters to create a memorable, high-ink silhouette for display typography.
Distinctive apertures and counters (notably in letters like a, e, s, and g) create strong texture lines across words, which can read as decorative at larger sizes. Numerals match the letterforms with broad bodies and simplified interior openings, keeping the set consistent for headlines and branding lockups.
