A heavy, extended sans with rounded outer contours and tightly controlled apertures. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth curves, producing broad, low-detail letterforms that feel stable and weighty. Many shapes show slightly squared internal corners and compressed counters (notably in B, P, R, e, and a), while C, G, O, and Q lean on wide oval geometry for a strong horizontal footprint. The lowercase is robust and compact, with single‑storey forms and sturdy stems; punctuation in the sample appears minimal and the overall rhythm is dense and display-oriented.
Best suited to large-scale applications where impact matters: headlines, posters, sports and fitness branding, bold logotypes, and packaging or signage needing immediate visibility. It can work for short bursts of copy, but longer paragraphs may feel dense due to the tight counters and broad set width.
The font conveys an assertive, high-impact tone—confident, sporty, and slightly retro in its wide, rounded block construction. Its mass and breadth read as bold and attention-grabbing, with a friendly smoothness that keeps it from feeling sharp or technical.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that prioritizes width, mass, and smooth geometry for instant recognition. It aims to deliver a bold, modern-retro presence with rounded forms that remain approachable while staying emphatic.
At text sizes the large shapes create strong color and presence, but the small counters and narrow openings can reduce interior clarity, especially in multi-line settings. Numerals follow the same wide, heavy construction, supporting consistent headline styling across alphanumeric content.
