A heavy, blocky sans with generous widths and a compact, tightly built interior structure. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, with rounded outer curves contrasted by crisp, squared-off terminals and joins that create a cut-paper, sculpted feel. Counters tend to be small and enclosed (notably in B, P, R, a, e), while forms like C, G, and S emphasize broad, smooth arcs. Lowercase appears sturdy and simplified, with single-storey a and g and short ascenders/descenders that keep the texture dense and even.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding, packaging, and logo wordmarks where its chunky silhouettes can read as a strong graphic element. It can also work for large callouts or signage-style applications, while smaller sizes may feel dark due to tight counters and dense texture.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, with a slightly eccentric, retro display flavor. Its chunky geometry and tight counters give it a confident, attention-grabbing voice that feels fun rather than formal.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with a playful, idiosyncratic construction—combining broad, rounded shapes with squared terminals to create a memorable, display-forward sans. The consistent, simplified lowercase suggests an emphasis on bold readability and distinctive rhythm in branding and editorial titling.
The design relies on distinctive notch-like joins and flattened terminals that add personality without using serifs. Numerals are equally weighty and rounded, with a prominent, graphic 8 and a compact, looped 9 that match the typeface’s dense rhythm.
