A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Letters are wide and squat with dense, compact counters and minimal interior space, creating strong, poster-like color on the page. Many glyphs show deliberate horizontal cut-ins/notches (especially in curved forms like C, S, e, and several numerals), giving a subtle stencil/segmented effect while keeping the overall silhouette smooth and superelliptical. Stroke endings tend to be squared-off but eased by the rounding, and joins are sturdy and geometric with little modulation.
Best suited to headlines, logos, posters, packaging, and short emphatic statements where bold shapes and wide proportions can carry the message. It also fits sports and entertainment branding, product labels, and promotional graphics that benefit from a confident, high-ink presence.
The tone is loud, friendly, and assertive—more playful than formal—evoking vintage display lettering and sporty, billboard-scale branding. The rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the notched detailing adds character and a slightly industrial, engineered feel.
The design appears intended as an attention-grabbing display sans built from rounded-rectangular primitives, combining friendly curves with engineered, cut-in accents to create a distinctive, high-impact texture in both single words and headline lines.
In text, the dense counters and cut-in details can visually merge at smaller sizes, so it reads best when given room and size. The rhythm is strongly horizontal and chunky, with an emphasis on wide silhouettes and tight interior openings that prioritize impact over delicacy.
