A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and strongly inflated curves. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth joins and softly squared terminals, giving letters a compact, blocky feel despite the generous width. Counters are relatively tight, and circular forms (O, o, 8) read as sturdy ovals rather than perfect circles. The overall rhythm is even and upright, with a large lowercase presence and simple, robust numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and large-format messaging where weight and width can do the work. It also fits packaging, sports/fitness branding, event graphics, and bold UI labels, especially when you want a friendly, high-impact sans that holds up in short phrases and large sizes.
The tone is bold and confident, with a friendly softness from the rounded shaping. It suggests an energetic, sporty voice with a touch of retro signage—more playful than corporate, but still highly direct and legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and readability through thick, rounded construction and wide letterforms, balancing toughness with approachability. Its simplified, sturdy shapes prioritize quick recognition and a strong graphic silhouette in display contexts.
Uppercase forms are broad and stable, with minimal internal detail (e.g., E/F arms and L foot feel short and thick). The lowercase shows single-storey a and g and a compact, utilitarian r, reinforcing an informal, modern display character. Numerals are equally weighty and attention-grabbing, with an especially solid 8 and rounded 0.
