A heavy, rounded sans with broad, blocky proportions and smooth, softened corners. The stroke structure feels built from large geometric masses with compact counters, giving letters a dense, high-impact color on the page. Curves are full and circular (notably in C/O/Q and the bowls of b/d/p), while joins and terminals are clean and blunt, with occasional angled cuts that add a sporty, cutout-like flavor. Spacing appears generous and steady in caps, and the lowercase maintains simple, sturdy constructions (single-storey a and g) that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It also works well for playful editorial headers or promotional graphics where strong presence and friendly geometry are desired, rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is upbeat and attention-grabbing, with a retro, pop-minded friendliness. Its chunky geometry and soft corners make it feel approachable rather than severe, while the dark typographic color adds confidence and headline energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with approachable, rounded geometry—combining a strong display voice with a retro-leaning, sporty character. Its simplified, sturdy letterforms prioritize instant recognition and punch in large sizes.
Round letters keep tight interior spaces, and several shapes show subtle wedge/angled detailing that prevents the forms from feeling purely mechanical. The figures are bold and compact, with simple silhouettes suited to large-scale use where the heavy fill and rounded structure can be appreciated.
