A heavy, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, high-impact letterforms and strong headline color. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular/oval, with small apertures that keep forms closed and sturdy; the lowercase shows a tall x-height and short extenders for a tight, stacked rhythm. Several joins and interior corners show notch-like cut-ins that read as subtle ink-trap behavior, adding crispness to otherwise soft geometry. Figures are similarly chunky and squared-off, matching the alphabet’s compact, sign-ready proportions.
Best suited to bold display settings such as posters, sports and fitness branding, product packaging, and attention-grabbing headers. It can also work for logo wordmarks and UI titles where a compact, high-contrast-against-background silhouette is needed, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, mixing utilitarian toughness with a playful, retro sports feel. Its rounded geometry keeps the weight friendly rather than harsh, while the dense counters and tight spacing project confidence and power.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact with a geometric, rounded-rect silhouette that stays friendly while remaining tough and compact. The notch-like interior shaping suggests an intention to preserve clarity in heavy weights and to add a distinctive, engineered character to the rhythm of the text.
The texture is intentionally solid, so at smaller sizes the tight counters and closed apertures can darken quickly; it reads best when given room and used for short bursts of text. The superelliptical curves create a consistent, almost modular cadence across both uppercase and lowercase, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered look.
