A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a low, compact internal counter structure. Strokes are mostly uniform with smooth curvature and blunt, softened terminals, creating a dense, blocky silhouette. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey forms where applicable and short, thick joins; apertures tend to be small, which increases overall ink density. Numerals follow the same wide, weighty construction, reading as sturdy and graphic rather than delicate.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and display typography where maximum impact is needed at a glance. It works well for sporty branding, event graphics, packaging, and bold logotypes, especially when set at larger sizes where the rounded forms and wide stance can read cleanly.
The overall tone is loud and friendly, with a bold, crowd-pleasing energy that feels at home in attention-grabbing contexts. Its rounded massing and tight counters give it a playful toughness—more fun-forward and sporty than corporate or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a big, approachable display voice built from simple rounded geometry and dense, high-impact shapes. It prioritizes immediate visual presence and brandability over fine-detail readability in small text.
In longer settings the tight counters and thick horizontals create a strong texture and a slightly compressed internal rhythm, so it benefits from generous line spacing and careful tracking. The wide stance and rounded geometry make it particularly effective for short phrases where shape recognition and impact matter most.
