A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with compact counters and broad, flattened curves that read as soft corners rather than true circles. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, while terminals and joins are squared-off and tightly engineered for a dense, high-impact texture. Proportions are wide and stable, with a slightly condensed internal rhythm created by narrow apertures and short, sturdy arms and crossbars. The lowercase maintains a solid, workmanlike structure; dots are simple and the overall spacing feels built for bold headlines rather than airy text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where maximum impact and quick recognition are priorities. It works well for sports identities, bold packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style signage, especially when set in short phrases or all caps.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, pairing a friendly roundedness with a tough, no-nonsense presence. It evokes sports and industrial signage—loud, direct, and highly legible at a glance—without feeling overly playful or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver strong visual weight with controlled, rounded geometry—combining approachability (soft corners) with a rugged, engineered construction for attention-grabbing display typography.
Round forms lean toward superelliptical geometry, giving letters like O, Q, and C a squared-round silhouette. Numerals are similarly blocky and uniform, supporting strong emphasis in large sizes.
