A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves resolve into squarish counters and bowls, giving letters a superelliptical feel rather than circular geometry. Strokes are thick and steady with minimal modulation, and joins are clean and compact, creating a dense texture in text. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and short extenders, while the uppercase feels broad and stable with wide, flat terminals and generous internal counters for the weight.
Best suited to display typography where impact and clarity are priorities—headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also works for short UI labels or section headers when a friendly but forceful voice is desired, though extended body text may feel heavy due to the dense texture.
The overall tone is confident and energetic, combining a friendly softness with a muscular, poster-like presence. Its rounded corners keep it approachable, while the compact, chunky forms read as assertive and attention-grabbing, with a subtle retro/athletic flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with rounded, geometric letterforms that stay readable at a distance. By pairing squarish superellipse structure with softened corners and a tall lowercase, it aims for a contemporary display look that also nods to retro athletic and industrial signage styles.
Letterforms favor squarish apertures and counters (notably in C, G, O, and e), producing a consistent, geometric rhythm. The numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with sturdy, legible shapes that match the weight and width of the letters. At smaller sizes the dense stroke mass can make spacing feel tight, while at display sizes the geometry becomes a defining feature.
