A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly squared curves throughout. Strokes are thick and uniform, with large, sturdy counters and tightly controlled apertures that keep the overall texture compact. Corners are consistently softened rather than sharply chamfered, and many joins and terminals resolve into blunt, rectangular ends. Proportions feel squat and stable, with slightly condensed rounds (C/O) and simplified, high-impact shapes in both letters and numerals.
Works best for headlines, short statements, and branding where maximum impact and sturdy letterforms are needed. It suits posters, packaging, sports or event graphics, and wayfinding-style signage, and can also serve as a display face for logo wordmarks that benefit from a compact, rounded-block silhouette.
The overall tone is confident and assertive while staying approachable due to the softened corners. It evokes a retro athletic and signage sensibility—loud, punchy, and built for quick recognition—without feeling ornate or delicate.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, compact display voice using superellipse-inspired geometry and consistent rounding, prioritizing immediacy and uniform rhythm over fine detail. The emphasis appears to be on high visibility and a cohesive, modernized-retro block aesthetic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
The sample text shows a dense, emphatic color on the line, making it most at home at larger sizes where counters and apertures can breathe. Numerals share the same rounded-rect geometry, giving data-heavy settings a cohesive, poster-like presence.
