A heavy, block-like sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Corners are broadly softened while terminals remain blunt, producing chunky silhouettes with tight interior counters and a compact, poster-ready rhythm. Curves are squared-off rather than circular, and horizontals/verticals dominate, with occasional angled joins in letters like K and R. Lowercase forms keep a tall x-height and simplified shapes, while figures are sturdy and billboard-like, emphasizing mass and presence over delicacy.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, and display typography where maximum impact is needed. The chunky, rounded geometry also fits logos, packaging, labels, and sports or event branding, particularly when used at large sizes or in short, punchy phrases.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a utilitarian, stamped look softened by rounded corners. It reads as energetic and slightly retro—at home in bold, attention-grabbing settings where clarity and punch matter more than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, compact headline voice built from rounded-rectangular geometry—combining the authority of a heavy grotesque with softer, friendlier corners for contemporary branding and bold editorial display.
Spacing appears tight in running text, and the heavy weight plus small counters can make long paragraphs feel dense; it performs best when given generous size, leading, or short lines. The superelliptical rounding stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping the design feel cohesive.
