A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, with broad, open counters in letters like O, P, and R, and a generally square-shouldered silhouette that reads more geometric than humanist. Terminals are blunt and clean, curves transition quickly into flats, and the overall rhythm is tight and compact despite the generous internal space. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a sturdy, flat-topped t, and a dot on i/j rendered as a small, solid shape that matches the weight.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where maximum impact is needed—posters, event graphics, packaging callouts, signage, and bold brand marks. It can also work for large-size UI labels or section headers when a strong, compact presence is desired, but its density makes it less appropriate for long-form text.
The tone is bold and punchy with a friendly edge from the rounded geometry. It suggests utilitarian signage and athletic branding at once—confident, straightforward, and slightly retro without feeling decorative. The heavy mass and squared forms create a strong, no-nonsense voice suited to attention-grabbing messages.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact geometric sans with rounded-square DNA—combining the firmness of square forms with approachable curvature for modern branding and display typography.
In text settings the large internal counters help keep words recognizable at display sizes, while the strong horizontals and verticals give a stable, engineered feel. Round characters (C, G, O, Q) maintain a consistent superelliptical profile, and numerals carry the same compact, sturdy build for cohesive mixed copy.
