A compact, blocky sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with broad strokes, softened corners, and mostly closed counters. The shapes feel carved and slightly irregular, with small notches and angled cut-ins that add texture without changing the overall monolithic silhouette. Spacing is tight and the rhythm is dense, producing strong, dark word shapes and high impact at display sizes.
Well-suited to posters, headlines, and short punchy statements where a strong silhouette is desirable. It can also work for logos and packaging that want a chunky, friendly-industrial voice, and for sports or entertainment branding that benefits from weighty, compact letterforms.
The tone is bold and extroverted, mixing friendly rounded forms with a tough, poster-like presence. Its slightly rough, cut-out details give it a retro, street-sign energy that feels playful rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft-cornered, superelliptical construction, while adding character through subtle cut-ins and irregular details. The result prioritizes bold presence and a distinctive word shape over delicate readability at small sizes.
Numerals and capitals maintain the same squared, softened construction, keeping a consistent stencil-like ruggedness across the set. In longer text, the dense color and tight apertures can feel heavy, so it reads best when given room through tracking, generous leading, or larger sizes.
