A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and consistently thick strokes. Curves are built from broad, superellipse-like bowls with softened corners, while straight-sided letters stay sturdy and rectangular, creating a strong block rhythm. Apertures are moderately open and counters are generous for the weight, keeping forms readable despite the dense color. Lowercase follows a single-storey construction (notably a and g), with short extenders and a sturdy, squared-off feel across joins and terminals.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where maximum impact is needed—posters, brand wordmarks, packaging, retail signage, and bold UI labels. It also works well for sports and entertainment graphics where a dense, rounded sans can carry energy without feeling harsh.
The tone is confident and approachable, combining a sporty, poster-like punch with friendly roundedness. Its soft-corner geometry reads modern-retro and upbeat rather than technical, making it feel energetic and welcoming.
The design appears intended to deliver strong, high-visibility typography with a softened, contemporary geometry. By pairing thick, uniform strokes with rounded-rectangle curves, it aims to stay friendly and legible while reading unmistakably bold at a glance.
The figures are wide and robust, matching the uppercase’s weight and giving numerals a strong presence in display settings. Overall spacing looks even and compact, producing a solid headline texture with minimal sparkle and high visual impact.
