A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly curved corners. Strokes are thick and even, with large internal counters that keep forms open at display sizes. Curves tend toward superelliptical shapes (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of B/P/R), while terminals are blunt and squared-off, creating a strong, poster-like silhouette. The lowercase is simple and utilitarian, with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a sturdy t; the numerals are equally bold, with a rounded 0 and a straight, blocky 1.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, storefront or event graphics, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks where compact width is helpful. It can also work for sports or promotional branding that benefits from bold, condensed typography.
The overall tone is loud, confident, and energetic, with a friendly edge from the rounded corners. It reads as contemporary and attention-seeking—more headline than text—suited to messaging that needs immediacy and impact.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual presence in a tight horizontal footprint, balancing dense weight with rounded geometry for a modern, approachable feel. Its simplified shapes and open counters suggest an intention toward clarity in large-scale display use.
The design’s tight proportions and large black shapes create a strong rhythm in all-caps, while the rounded geometry helps prevent the weight from feeling harsh. Letterforms maintain consistent corner radii and curvature, giving the set a coherent, engineered look across letters and figures.
