A heavy, expanded sans with rounded-rectangle construction and squared-off curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with broad horizontals and verticals, producing a compact, poster-like texture. Corners are softened rather than sharp, and many bowls and counters read as rectangular cut-ins, giving several letters a subtle stencil or punch-cut feel. The lowercase is robust and compact, with simple, single-storey forms and a wide footprint that keeps rhythm steady across words. Numerals follow the same chunky geometry, emphasizing flat tops, broad bases, and large, simplified counters.
This style works best for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, brand marks, and packaging where a strong, compact word silhouette is desired. It can also support sports or event graphics and other applications that benefit from thick strokes and wide proportions at large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and attention-seeking, with a friendly, toy-block softness layered onto an industrial, stamped look. It feels energetic and slightly retro, suited to designs that want impact without sharp aggressiveness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual mass and readability at display sizes while maintaining a softened, geometric personality. Its squared counters and rounded exterior forms suggest an aim for a distinctive, stamped/constructed look that stands apart from purely circular or purely rectangular grotesques.
Spacing and letterfit appear intentionally tight and dense at display sizes, creating solid word shapes. The combination of rounded outer silhouettes and squared interior cuts gives a distinctive superelliptical flavor that remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
