A heavy, rounded sans with superelliptical construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are broadly even and the curves are generous, giving letters a dense, compact footprint and strong ink presence. Counters tend to be small and squarish-oval, with terminals that feel cut cleanly rather than tapered. The overall rhythm is sturdy and consistent, with slightly condensed-looking forms and a pragmatic, sign-like clarity in capitals and figures.
Best suited for short-to-medium text at display sizes: headlines, campaign graphics, packaging, wayfinding, and bold brand marks where strong presence is needed. It can also work for UI labels or badges when set large enough to preserve counter clarity.
The tone is bold and upbeat, balancing toughness with approachability thanks to the rounded geometry. It reads as contemporary and assertive, with a sporty, promotional energy that feels designed to grab attention quickly without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean, contemporary silhouette, using rounded-rectangle geometry to stay friendly while remaining emphatic. It prioritizes recognizability and punch over delicate detail, aiming for a robust, versatile display voice.
In text, the weight creates high impact and short word shapes, making spacing and counter size especially noticeable at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals feel particularly solid and poster-ready, while the lowercase maintains the same rounded, blocky logic for a cohesive voice.
