A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with corners consistently softened rather than sharply squared, creating a dense, blocky texture. Counters are compact and often rectangular or ovalized, and the overall spacing reads tight and efficient at display sizes. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and simplified forms, while figures and capitals maintain broad, stable silhouettes with minimal modulation.
Best suited to display typography where mass and impact are desirable: headlines, posters, product packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. It also works well for signage and labels that benefit from high presence and simple, geometric forms. Use with generous size and spacing when extended reading is required.
The font conveys a bold, no-nonsense attitude with a friendly edge from its rounded corners. Its chunky proportions and compact counters create an assertive, poster-like presence, while the softened geometry keeps it approachable and slightly playful. The overall tone feels modern with a retro advertising and sports-signage flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with clean, geometric simplicity, using rounded-rectangle shapes to unify the alphabet. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent corner treatment for an immediately recognizable, contemporary display voice.
Round letters (like O/Q) appear more like rounded rectangles than true circles, reinforcing a consistent “squircle” theme. Diagonals (as in V/W/X/Y) are thick and sturdy, contributing to a strong rhythm in all-caps settings. At smaller sizes, the tight counters and dense color may reduce clarity, but it excels when given room and scale.
