A heavy, block-like sans with rounded-rectangle construction and generously softened corners. Curves are squarish and superelliptical rather than circular, giving bowls and counters a compact, engineered feel. Strokes stay consistently thick, with broad horizontals and sturdy verticals creating a dense, even texture. Apertures are relatively tight and internal spaces are small, while diagonals and joins remain clean and simplified for strong silhouette clarity.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, and prominent UI/label moments where maximum presence is needed. The chunky, rounded forms work well for logos, packaging, and signage—especially in short phrases and titles where the tight counters won’t close up. It can also serve for large numerals in pricing, scores, or wayfinding.
The overall tone is loud and confident with a friendly softness from the rounded edges. It reads as energetic and slightly retro, evoking signage and sports branding where big shapes and clear forms carry the message. The compact counters and chunky rhythm add a playful, no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability through simplified, rounded-rect geometry and a consistently heavy stroke. By combining hard, blocky structure with softened corners, it aims to feel both industrial and approachable—optimized for attention-grabbing display typography.
Uppercase forms present wide, stable proportions, while lowercase maintains the same squared-round logic with short, sturdy extenders. Numerals are equally blocky and uniform in color, designed to hold up as large display figures. The font’s density makes it most effective when given breathing room in layout.
