A heavy, rounded sans with a superellipse construction: counters and outer curves read like softened rectangles rather than perfect circles. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and blunt with generously rounded corners. Proportions are compact with broad, stable stems and relatively short apertures, giving letters a dense, poster-ready texture. Uppercase forms are sturdy and simplified; lowercase follows the same blocky rhythm with single-storey shapes and prominent dots on i/j. Numerals are wide and weighty, maintaining the same squared-round geometry and consistent color.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding where a compact, rounded presence helps text feel solid and approachable. It also works well for sports, entertainment, and promotional graphics that benefit from high-impact letterforms with soft edges.
The font feels bold and approachable—more energetic than formal—thanks to its rounded corners and dense, chunky silhouettes. It carries a sporty, headline-forward tone with a slightly retro, sign-like presence that reads as fun and assertive rather than delicate.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual weight with a friendly, rounded geometry—pairing sturdy, simplified forms with softened corners for a modern display voice. Its consistent superellipse structure suggests an intention to look cohesive in big text, logos, and attention-grabbing titles.
Because the shapes are compact and the apertures are tight, the face produces strong ink coverage and high impact at larger sizes, while at small sizes counters may begin to fill in. Curves and diagonals maintain a consistent radius language across the set, creating a cohesive, logo-friendly texture.
