A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly curved corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, with generous weight throughout and small, squared counters that stay open enough for display sizes. Curves in O/C/G/Q and bowls trend toward superelliptical shapes, while joins and terminals remain blunt and simplified. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, and the lowercase uses single‑storey a and g with squat proportions, keeping a consistent, block-like rhythm across text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, storefront graphics, product packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for UI labels or signage when large enough, where the rounded forms help maintain friendliness while the heavy weight ensures strong visibility.
The overall tone is bold and confident with a playful, approachable edge. Its rounded geometry softens the mass, giving it a friendly, contemporary feel that still nods to retro athletic and packaging styles. The texture reads loud and energetic, designed to grab attention quickly.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified, rounded geometry and dense stroke weight, prioritizing instant recognition over delicate detail. The consistent superelliptical language suggests a goal of creating a modern, approachable display sans that feels robust and energetic.
Numbers and capitals read especially strong, with clear, straightforward silhouettes and minimal interior detailing. In longer passages the weight produces a tight, dark typographic color, so it performs best when given ample size, spacing, or contrast against the background.
