A heavy, blocky sans with rounded corners and simplified, geometric construction. Each glyph is built from a bold outline with an offset, layered shadow that reads as a second contour, creating a dimensional, cut-out feel while keeping the interiors largely open. Curves are broad and smooth, joins are sturdy, and counters are generous, giving the set strong presence and clear silhouettes. The overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with consistent stroke behavior across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, logo wordmarks, labels, and packaging where the outlined shadow effect can read clearly. It performs particularly well in short phrases, titles, and branded callouts that benefit from a strong graphic silhouette.
The offset shadow and hollowed outline give the face a lively, retro display energy—confident, attention-grabbing, and slightly comic-book in tone. It feels made for big, high-impact statements where dimensionality and bold shapes are part of the message.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with minimal detail: a bold, outlined letterform system enhanced by an offset shadow for instant depth and separation. The emphasis is on memorable shapes and a built-in dimensional effect for attention-oriented typography.
The shadow is consistently offset in one direction, producing a crisp, two-layer effect that stays legible at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same squared-off, rounded geometry, helping headings and mixed-case settings feel cohesive.
