A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, with tight, mostly closed counters and squared-off curves that read like superelliptical blocks rather than circles. The proportions feel compact with broad shoulders and sturdy verticals; apertures are small and joins are blunt, creating a dense, high-impact texture in text. Figures follow the same chunky logic, with simple, filled forms and minimal interior openings.
Best suited to large sizes where its compact counters and blunt joins can read clearly: posters, headlines, identity marks, packaging, and bold signage. It also works well for short emphatic phrases, labels, and graphic treatments where a dense, blocky texture is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, with a distinctly retro display feel. Its rounded block shapes give it a friendly, toy-like confidence while still reading as industrial and poster-ready. In longer lines it becomes a rhythmic, graphic pattern, emphasizing attitude over delicacy.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact with a softened, geometric personality—combining sturdy, rectangular letterforms with rounded corners to stay approachable. It prioritizes a cohesive, iconic silhouette set for display typography rather than fine detail or airy spacing.
Distinctive notch-like interior cutouts and small counters show up across multiple glyphs, reinforcing a stamped or molded look. The uppercase is especially monolithic, and the lowercase maintains the same squared softness, keeping a consistent voice from headlines to short bursts of copy.
