A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a compact, blocky color. Curves are built from squarish, superellipse-like bowls, while terminals are blunt and softly rounded rather than sharply cut. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are conservative, giving the face a solid, punchy texture; the ‘a’ and ‘g’ appear single-storey and the ‘t’ has a short crossbar, reinforcing the simplified, geometric construction. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with sturdy strokes and minimal modulation for consistent headline impact.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and brand marks where a strong silhouette is desired. It also works well for punchy UI labels or social graphics when used at larger sizes with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a contemporary-retro feel reminiscent of bold signage and sporty branding. Its softened corners and roomy letterforms keep it friendly even at extreme weight, while the dense ink presence adds confidence and loudness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, geometric voice—combining rounded-rectangle construction with simplified letter shapes to create a bold, highly recognizable typographic footprint.
Spacing in the samples reads even and deliberate, helping the dense forms remain legible at large sizes. The design’s squarish roundness is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, logo-ready rhythm.
