A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are monolinear and weighty, with generously radiused joins and corners that keep the texture soft rather than rigid. Counters are compact and circular/oval, and the overall rhythm is dense and uniform, producing strong word shapes. Terminals are mostly blunt with subtle rounding, while a few letters show gently angled cuts that add a slightly dynamic, contemporary feel.
Best suited to display settings where impact is the priority: headlines, posters, large-format signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or callouts when set with ample spacing, but extended body text will tend to look dark and compact.
The font reads as bold, upbeat, and assertive, with a friendly softness that keeps it approachable. Its chunky shapes and tight counters give it a sporty, poster-forward energy suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet neutrality.
Designed to deliver maximum presence with a modern rounded-geometric voice, balancing assertive weight with softened contours for approachability. The consistent stroke behavior and compact counters suggest an emphasis on cohesive, high-impact typography for contemporary marketing and display applications.
At text sizes the dense interior spaces and heavy color create a strong blocky texture, so spacing and line-height become important for clarity. The numerals share the same rounded, compact construction, supporting a consistent display tone across headlines and figures.
