A heavy, squat sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Curves tend toward superellipse bowls, while horizontals and verticals stay broad and steady, producing a dense, compact silhouette. Counters are generally small and horizontally biased, with a pronounced, uniform stroke presence and minimal modulation. Terminals are blunt and clean, and diagonals are simplified and sturdy, giving the alphabet a cohesive, engineered feel across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where weight and width can do the work—headlines, poster typography, bold brand marks, sports and team-style graphics, and energetic packaging. It can also fit UI or tech branding in short labels, but it is most effective when given enough size and spacing to preserve its compact counters.
The overall tone is confident and high-impact, reading as sporty and tech-forward while remaining friendly due to the rounded geometry. Its wide, compact shapes suggest speed, machinery, and modern interfaces, with a slightly playful, toy-like softness that keeps it approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a modern rounded-rect aesthetic, combining industrial sturdiness with approachable softness. Its consistent geometry and simplified forms prioritize strong silhouettes and quick recognition in bold display typography.
The face builds recognition through strong, repeatable geometry: rounded corners, flattened curves, and tight apertures that create bold, graphic word shapes. At smaller sizes the tight counters and heavy joins may fill in, while at larger sizes the distinctive superellipse rhythm becomes a key part of the look.
