A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and soft, blunted terminals. Strokes are uniform and dense, with tight counters and small apertures that give the forms a solid, stamped look. Curves lean toward superelliptical bowls and squared-off rounds, creating a blocky rhythm; joins and corners are consistently softened rather than sharp. Overall spacing reads tight and economical, with sturdy verticals and simplified, high-impact silhouettes across letters and numerals.
Well-suited to headlines, display typography, and bold brand marks where a compact, friendly punch is desired. It can work nicely on posters, packaging, labels, and signage, especially when used at larger sizes or with extra letterspacing to keep the texture open.
The tone is bold and approachable, mixing a playful, hand-cut poster feel with a slightly retro utility vibe. Its chunky shapes and softened corners make it feel friendly and informal, while the compact proportions keep it assertive and attention-grabbing.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a simplified, rounded-rect construction that stays readable and consistent across a full basic set. The emphasis appears to be on a fun, approachable display voice with strong silhouettes rather than delicate detail.
In longer text the dense interiors and narrow openings can make word shapes feel dark and busy, especially around letters with smaller counters. It reads best when given room—larger sizes, relaxed tracking, and short bursts of copy—where the distinctive rounded-rect construction becomes a clear stylistic feature.
