A heavy, compact sans with broad, rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Curves are built from superelliptic bowls and counters, while straight strokes stay blunt and uniform, producing a solid, low-detail silhouette. The uppercase set reads wide and stable with large counters in O/D/P and a clean, straightforward A and M; diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are thick and minimally tapered. Lowercase forms are simplified and robust, with single-storey a and g, a short-armed t, and rounded terminals that keep the texture dense at display sizes. Numerals match the same chunky geometry, with an open, simple 4 and heavy, rounded 8/9 forms.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-format messaging where strong silhouettes and dense color are assets. It can work well for branding and packaging that needs a sturdy, friendly impact, and for sports or event graphics where quick recognition matters. For long text, it will be most comfortable in short bursts such as subheads, labels, and callouts.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, leaning toward sports and street signage energy while staying approachable due to its rounded geometry. It feels modern and utilitarian rather than refined, prioritizing bold clarity and immediacy. The softened corners add a friendly, playful edge that keeps it from looking harsh.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through chunky strokes and rounded-rectangle forms, creating a bold voice that remains approachable. The consistent geometry and simplified shapes aim for strong recognition in display settings and high-contrast layouts.
Spacing and proportions create a tight, high-ink rhythm that holds together well in large headlines, where the rounded rectangular theme becomes a defining visual motif. The broad joins and simplified interiors suggest it is intended to remain clear when used large and loud, rather than for delicate typographic nuance.
