A heavy, rounded-rect sans with squared proportions and generously softened corners. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and counters tend toward rounded squares and small apertures, giving letters a dense, sturdy footprint. Many forms show deliberate notch-like cut-ins and simplified joins (notably in S, 2, 5, and similar shapes), creating a slightly industrial, stencil-adjacent texture without becoming fully segmented. The overall geometry favors superelliptical bowls and flat terminals, producing a tight rhythm and strong silhouette clarity at display sizes.
Works best for bold headlines, poster typography, branding marks, and packaging where a compact, high-impact word shape is desirable. It also suits playful editorial titles, event graphics, and short UI/label moments that need instant recognition. For paragraphs or small sizes, it’s more effective in short bursts due to its heavy color and tight internal counters.
The tone is energetic and upbeat, mixing a retro headline feel with a toy-like softness from the rounded rectangle construction. Its chunky massing reads confident and attention-grabbing, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than aggressive. The occasional cut-in details add a hint of arcade/utility character that feels graphic and intentionally stylized.
Designed to deliver a strong, geometric display voice built from rounded-rectangle forms, emphasizing immediate legibility and a distinctive silhouette. The added notch-like detailing appears intended to inject character and a slightly industrial/arcade edge while keeping the overall feel friendly and modern.
Spacing and shapes feel optimized for large-scale impact: interior counters stay relatively small and punctuation/holes read as rounded-square dots. The numeral set matches the same blocky geometry, with especially prominent, sign-like forms in 0, 8, and 9. In longer text the dense texture can build quickly, so it performs best when given ample size and breathing room.
