A heavy, block-forward display sans with rounded-rectangle construction and soft corners throughout. Curves resolve into broad, flat terminals and slab-like horizontals, while counters stay tight and often rectangular, creating a compact, pressurized texture. The capitals are squat and wide with generous cap width, and the lowercase maintains a large, sturdy x-height with minimal stroke modulation. Diagonals and joins are simplified into chunky wedges (notably in K, V, W, X, Y), and the numerals follow the same blunt, geometric rhythm with wide bowls and short apertures.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, packaging labels, and bold signage where mass and silhouette matter. It can work in brief subheads or captions when ample tracking and leading are used, but it’s most effective when allowed to stay large and graphic.
The overall tone is loud and friendly, with a distinctly retro, poster-like presence. Its rounded geometry and dense black shapes feel playful and comic-leaning, while the broad proportions give it a sporty, headline-ready confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a softened, approachable geometry—combining rounded-rectangle forms with blunt terminals to create a distinctive, retro display voice that remains clean and sans-serif.
Spacing appears intentionally tight at text sizes, producing a dark, continuous band that favors impact over long-form readability. Round letters like O and Q read as squared-off ovals, reinforcing a superellipse feel, and the punctuation and dots are heavy and compact to match the mass of the letterforms.
