A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with tight counters and short apertures that create a dense, poster-like color. Many joins show small triangular notches and cut-ins (ink-trap-like details) that sharpen internal corners and improve separation at heavy weights. Terminals are blunt and squared, curves are broad and controlled, and overall spacing reads snug with a sturdy, upright stance.
Best suited to large sizes where its dense weight and rounded-rect forms deliver maximum impact—headlines, posters, logotypes, and bold brand statements. It can also work for short bursts of text such as labels, packaging callouts, and event or sports graphics, especially where a strong, friendly presence is desired.
The face feels bold and assertive, leaning into a sporty, headline-driven energy. Its softened corners keep it approachable while the mass and tight counters add a confident, attention-grabbing tone with a slight retro display flavor.
Designed to provide a robust, modern display voice built from superelliptic shapes, prioritizing punchy silhouettes and clear interior separation at extreme weight. The small corner cut-ins suggest an intent to keep joins from clogging and to maintain character definition in large, dark settings.
The lowercase shows single-storey shapes (notably a and g) and simplified construction that emphasizes solidity over calligraphic nuance. Numerals are similarly chunky and stable, matching the overall blocky rhythm, and the ink-trap-like notches become more noticeable at joins and tight interiors in text settings.
