A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and generous corner radii that keep the dark mass feeling controlled rather than blunt. Strokes are monolinear and tightly spaced, with squared terminals softened by consistent rounding and occasional wedge-like joins. Counters tend to be small and geometric, and the overall rhythm is dense and even, producing strong silhouette recognition at display sizes. Numerals and uppercase share the same sturdy, built-from-blocks logic, while lowercase maintains a high, sturdy presence with short ascenders and descenders.
Best suited to headlines, logos, packaging, and signage where a compact, high-impact wordshape is needed. It performs well in short UI labels or badges when you want a friendly, assertive voice, and it can work for sports or entertainment promotions where strong typographic presence is desired.
The tone is bold and upbeat, with a slightly nostalgic, mid-century signage feel. Its rounded geometry reads friendly and approachable, while the weight and compactness add confidence and impact. Overall it communicates energy and clarity more than refinement.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a soft-edged, geometric personality—combining a dense, dark typographic color with rounded-rectangle forms for approachability. The consistent, blocky construction suggests an intention to remain highly legible and distinctive in display settings and on printed materials.
The design leans on superelliptical bowls and rectangular stems, giving many letters a “cut from a single slab” look. In the sample text, the dense color creates strong emphasis in headlines but suggests careful tracking and line spacing for longer passages to avoid a heavy texture.
