A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with dense, ink-trap-free strokes and softly squared corners. Counters are small and often take the form of vertical pill-shaped apertures, producing a strong black footprint and high impact at display sizes. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls rather than true circles, and joins stay blunt and geometric, giving the alphabet a sculpted, industrial consistency. Lowercase forms are compact with a tall x-height and minimal stroke modulation, while figures are similarly chunky with tight interior spaces.
Best suited to large-format applications where mass and shape carry the message: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and attention-grabbing social graphics. It can also work for short bursts of text (labels, slogans, pull quotes) where a compact, high-impact texture is desired.
The overall tone is bold and confident with a distinctly retro, sign-painting/poster sensibility. Its soft-cornered geometry keeps the weight from feeling harsh, adding a friendly, playful character even at very large sizes.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact through compact, superelliptical forms and minimal detailing, prioritizing silhouette strength and uniform rhythm over small-size readability. The design emphasizes a cohesive, geometric voice that feels both retro and contemporary in bold display contexts.
Spacing appears deliberately tight in running text, reinforcing a solid “wall of type” effect. Some letters use strongly simplified terminals and apertures, which increases visual punch but can reduce differentiation in small settings.
