A heavy, rounded sans with broad, squared proportions and smoothly radiused corners throughout. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls with relatively tight internal counters, while straight strokes stay sturdy and uniform, producing a compact, poster-friendly color. The uppercase is wide and emphatic, and the lowercase follows with simplified, sturdy forms; terminals are consistently blunt and softened rather than sharp. Numerals are equally chunky and stable, with rounded rectangles guiding the overall geometry.
Works best for big, attention-grabbing typography such as headlines, posters, and campaign graphics. The rounded block construction also fits packaging, product logos, sports or fitness branding, and bold signage where quick recognition and a friendly presence are priorities.
The tone is confident and approachable, balancing toughness with softened edges. It reads as contemporary but with a clear retro display flavor—suited to energetic, upbeat messages where friendliness and impact need to coexist.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact while avoiding harshness, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep forms approachable. It aims for a cohesive, geometric display voice that stays legible at large sizes and communicates energy and optimism.
At text sizes the dense counters and heavy joins create a strong mass, so it benefits from generous tracking and line spacing in longer settings. The shapes maintain a consistent rounded-rectangle logic across letters and figures, which helps keep headlines cohesive.
