A dense, heavy sans with broadly rounded corners and a squared, superellipse construction that keeps counters open while maintaining a compact, block-like silhouette. Curves transition quickly into flat(ter) sides, producing a sturdy rhythm across rounds like C, O, and S, while straight stems stay thick and even. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short extenders and sturdy shoulders, and the numerals share the same squat, high-impact geometry with clearly cut inner shapes.
This style suits high-impact display work such as headlines, posters, logos, and branding systems where a dense, rounded presence is desired. It can also work well on packaging and apparel graphics that benefit from a strong, friendly sans with clear shapes at large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, combining athletic poster energy with approachable softness from the rounded rectangle forms. It feels modern-retro and headline-driven, designed to read as strong and friendly rather than sharp or clinical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a soft-edged, geometric voice—balancing compact massing with open counters for legibility in display settings. Its superellipse-based construction suggests a deliberate aim for a cohesive, modern look that still nods to retro signage and athletic graphics.
Joins and terminals are consistently blunt and weighty, giving text a uniform color in larger sizes. The wide, rounded bowls and simplified diagonals create a slightly condensed, packed texture that emphasizes impact over delicacy.
