A heavy, geometric sans with broad proportions and near-uniform stroke weight. Letterforms are built from simple curves and straight segments, with generously rounded outer corners and rectangular, slightly rounded counters. The shapes feel compact and tightly constructed, with flattened curves and squared terminals that give the design a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. Circular forms (O, o, 0) read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are thick and blunt with minimal tapering.
This face is well-suited to headlines, posters, storefront signage, and packaging where bold, compact letterforms need to read quickly and carry personality. It also works effectively for logos and short UI labels where a friendly, geometric display voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, leaning playful rather than technical. Its chunky geometry and softened corners evoke a retro display feel—confident, energetic, and attention-grabbing without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that balances geometric simplicity with softened, rounded details. Its compact internal spaces and blunt terminals suggest a focus on strong silhouette and consistent texture for attention-forward typography.
The rhythm is highly consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing dense word shapes and strong color on the page. Apertures are generally modest, and counters are relatively small for the weight, which enhances impact at larger sizes but increases density in long text.
