A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a compact internal rhythm. Strokes are uniform and thick, with softened corners and gently squared curves that give round letters a slightly “block” silhouette. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and joins stay clean and sturdy, producing dense, high-ink shapes that remain orderly in setting. Uppercase and numerals read as solid, poster-like forms, while lowercase keeps simple, workmanlike construction with single-storey shapes and minimal modulation.
Best suited to display contexts where maximum impact is needed: headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, packaging callouts, and bold brand marks. It also works well for short UI labels or badges when set with generous tracking and ample contrast against the background.
The overall tone is confident and approachable, balancing toughness with friendly rounding. It feels energetic and attention-grabbing, with a subtle retro-meets-sports sensibility that lends itself to bold, declarative messaging rather than delicate nuance.
The design appears aimed at delivering a sturdy, high-impact voice with friendly geometry—prioritizing immediacy, visibility, and a cohesive, rounded blockiness that holds up in large-scale typographic statements.
In the sample text, the tight counters and heavy weight create strong dark color on the line, so spacing and size choices will significantly influence readability. The rounded terminals help prevent the texture from feeling harsh, even at very large display sizes.
