A heavy, compact sans with generously rounded corners and squared-off, superellipse-like curves that keep counters broad and open. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a solid, poster-ready texture. Terminals tend to be blunt and slightly softened, while joins are sturdy, giving letters a grounded, engineered feel. The overall rhythm is tight and even, with simplified forms and sturdy bowls that maintain clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to big, attention-grabbing applications such as headlines, posters, storefront signage, labels, and bold brand marks. The open counters and softened corners help it stay legible in short bursts of text, especially where a friendly, energetic display tone is desired.
The tone is bold and approachable, combining a playful softness from the rounded geometry with a forceful, high-impact presence. It reads as energetic and contemporary with a hint of retro athletic signage, making text feel assertive without becoming aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through dense weight and geometric rounded construction, balancing sturdiness with approachability. Its simplified, uniform shapes prioritize fast recognition and strong silhouette for branding and display settings.
Uppercase shapes are particularly geometric, with rounded-rectangle construction evident in C, G, O, and D; the G shows a clear horizontal spur, and the Q uses a short, direct tail. Lowercase maintains the same weight and softness, with simple, robust shapes and a single-storey style for letters like a and g. Numerals are wide and sturdy, with a notably compact, rectangular feel in 0 and strong horizontal emphasis in 2, 3, and 5.
