A heavy, rounded sans with a squared-off superellipse construction: strokes stay consistently thick while corners and terminals are broadly rounded. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle bowls (notably in O, Q, 0, 8, 9), and many letters show flat-sided interiors with soft radii rather than true circles. The lowercase has a large, dominant x-height and compact extenders, with single-storey forms (a, g) and simple, sturdy joins; counters are relatively tight, and apertures are small, giving words a dense, stamped silhouette. Numerals follow the same block-rounded logic, with closed, pill-like counters and strong horizontal emphasis in 2 and 5.
Best used at larger sizes where its dense, rounded counters and heavy rhythm stay clear and intentional. It fits bold branding, product packaging, posters, and sports or tech marketing, and it can work for short UI labels or signage when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is bold and friendly with a game-like, industrial confidence. Its rounded-rectangle geometry reads contemporary and tech-adjacent, while the chunky proportions and compact counters add a retro display energy suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through a soft-edged, geometric block structure—combining toughness and friendliness in a single, highly legible display voice.
The design relies on consistent corner radii across straight and curved segments, creating a cohesive, modular rhythm. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are broad and stable, and the uppercase maintains a uniform, poster-oriented presence that pairs well with the similarly assertive lowercase.
