A heavy, rounded-rect sans with broad strokes and compact counters. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving round letters like C, G, O, and Q a squarish, superelliptical feel. Terminals are blunt and flat, joins are clean and mostly uniform, and interior spaces stay relatively tight, producing a dense, high-impact texture. The lowercase is built around a tall, sturdy core with simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g) and short, functional extenders; figures are similarly blocky with rounded corners and clear cut-ins.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where strong silhouettes matter: headlines, posters, sports or event branding, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for UI labels or badges at larger sizes where the tight counters remain comfortably open.
The overall tone is bold and confident, with a utilitarian, machined friendliness. Its rounded-square geometry reads as sporty and contemporary, while the compact shapes and tight counters add an industrial, poster-like punch.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive rounded-rect geometry—combining sturdy, engineered shapes with a friendly softness at the corners for modern, attention-grabbing typography.
Notable identifying details include squared-off bowls on B/P/R, a strong, geometric Q with a small inset tail, and chunky numerals where 2, 3, 5, and 9 feature crisp internal notches. The rhythm is consistent and even, favoring mass and silhouette over delicate interior detail.
