A compact, chunky sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and a strong, uniform stroke. Curves are broad and squarish rather than circular, giving counters and bowls a softened boxiness. Terminals are blunt and rounded, joins are tight, and the overall silhouette feels dense and stable with minimal modulation. Numerals match the same compact, heavy geometry; round figures like 0/8/9 are wide and squared-off, while 1 is a simple vertical form with a small angled start.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where impact and solidity are priorities—posters, sports and team branding, bold packaging, and punchy logotypes. It can also work for big UI labels or wayfinding-style callouts when strong presence and quick recognition are needed.
The tone is loud and confident, with a friendly edge created by the rounded corners. Its mass and compact shapes read as rugged and no-nonsense, yet the softened geometry keeps it approachable rather than harsh. Overall it suggests energetic, contemporary display typography with a utilitarian punch.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through compact proportions, blunt rounded geometry, and a consistently heavy presence. It prioritizes bold legibility and a distinctive, softened-block silhouette that reads clearly at large sizes.
The lowercase is built with simple, blocky forms and short apertures, producing a dark, even texture in words. Wide letters like W and m feel especially weighty, and punctuation such as the hyphen appears as a thick, rectangular bar, reinforcing the sturdy, sign-like rhythm.
