A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with broad proportions and strongly softened corners. Strokes are uniform and assertive, with compact internal counters and generous, stable vertical stems that create a solid texture in words. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and superelliptical rounds (notably in O/C/G and the digits), while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are thick and steady, keeping a consistent color across the line. Lowercase forms are simplified and robust, with a tall x-height feel and minimal modulation, favoring clarity and mass over delicacy.
Best suited to display typography where maximum presence is needed—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging panels, and short calls to action. It also works well for signage and UI moments that need bold labels, provided sizes are large enough to avoid counter closure.
The overall tone is bold and approachable—confident, energetic, and slightly retro. Its rounded corners soften the heaviness, giving it a friendly, sporty presence that reads as upbeat and attention-grabbing rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact sans with a softened, geometric voice—combining stout strokes and wide stance with rounded-corner construction for a friendly, contemporary display feel.
Spacing appears built for impact: letters sit tightly as a dark, cohesive block, and punctuation and dots are large enough to stay visible at display sizes. The numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, producing a consistent, signage-like rhythm across mixed alphanumeric settings.
