A heavy, wide sans with rounded, geometric construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with spacious counters that stay open even at smaller interior apertures, giving the letters strong clarity at large sizes. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off with subtle rounding, and curves (C, G, O, S) read as smooth, controlled arcs rather than sharp angles. The lowercase is built on a large x-height with short ascenders and descenders, producing a compact vertical rhythm and a dense, poster-like color.
Best used for headlines, poster typography, and short emphatic copy where impact is the priority. It’s well suited to branding and packaging that need a bold, approachable voice, and to signage where quick recognition and high contrast against the background are important.
The overall tone is assertive and attention-grabbing, but the rounded geometry keeps it approachable and upbeat. It evokes a sporty, retail-forward feel—confident and energetic rather than severe—making it well-suited to bold, friendly messaging.
Likely intended as a high-impact display sans that combines geometric roundness with substantial weight for maximum presence. The compact lowercase proportions and open counters suggest it was drawn to stay readable while delivering a dense, confident typographic color in large-scale applications.
The design favors strong silhouettes and simple joins; diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) remain sturdy and legible without becoming spiky. Numerals appear similarly weighty and display-oriented, with broad forms that match the letters’ visual mass for consistent headline setting.
