A heavy, blocky sans with softened corners and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Counters are small and tight, while strokes stay consistently thick, creating dense silhouettes and strong color on the page. Curves read as superelliptical rather than geometric circles, and joins are sturdy, with a generally squared-off feel in terminals and apertures. The rhythm is compact and energetic, and the figures and caps carry the same chunky, uniform presence as the lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where maximum impact and quick recognition are needed. It also works well for sports graphics, packaging callouts, and large-scale signage where thick strokes and compact forms maintain presence at a distance. For longer passages, it’s most comfortable as short bursts—taglines, subheads, and emphatic pull quotes—rather than continuous reading.
The overall tone is loud and extroverted, with a friendly edge from the rounded corners. It feels sporty and poster-driven, balancing a retro display attitude with contemporary, clean construction. The density and chunky shapes communicate confidence and immediacy, making the voice more attention-grabbing than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact voice using rounded-rectangle forms and tightly contained counters. It prioritizes bold presence and a cohesive, friendly blockiness that reads clearly in large sizes and graphic layouts.
At text sizes the tight counters and dense weight can close up, so it benefits from generous tracking and line spacing when used beyond headlines. The letterforms keep a consistent, cohesive shape language across cases and numerals, helping it hold together well in big, emphatic settings.
