A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with soft corners and broad, squared-off curves that keep counters open and legible. Terminals are predominantly flat, giving a blocky, engineered feel, while rounding prevents the forms from becoming harsh. Proportions are expansive and headline-oriented, with wide caps and roomy bowls; the lowercase follows the same squared-round logic and reads clearly at large sizes.
Works best for display applications where bold shapes and a sturdy rhythm are assets: headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and sports or fitness branding. It can also serve in UI or wayfinding as a strong label style, especially where quick recognition and solid silhouette matter more than long-form reading comfort.
The overall tone is assertive and high-impact, with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It feels modern and utilitarian—confident rather than delicate—while still having a playful, game- or sports-like energy in its chunky shapes and compact details.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, rounded-rectangular voice—combining industrial solidity with approachable corners. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, consistent structure, and attention-grabbing density for modern display typography.
The numerals and punctuation match the same squared-round geometry, keeping rhythm consistent in all-caps and mixed-case settings. The sample text shows strong word-shape presence and high contrast against the page, making it best suited to short bursts where texture and mass are desirable.
