A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact, tightly drawn counters. Curves are smooth and full, with softened terminals and corners that keep the overall texture friendly rather than rigid. The stroke logic feels largely monolinear, and the letterforms balance geometric construction with slightly squashed rounds, producing a dense, high-impact silhouette. Uppercase forms read wide and stable, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy rhythm with short extenders and consistent, low-contrast joins.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where impact and friendliness are desired. It can also work for large UI or signage moments where quick recognition matters more than fine typographic nuance.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, with a distinctly retro, display-forward presence. Its rounded massing and wide stance give it a fun, sporty character that feels confident and attention-grabbing without turning aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a warm, rounded voice—combining wide, sturdy forms with smooth curves to create an approachable display sans for branding and promotional typography.
In text, the font creates a dark, even color with strong word shapes, making it best when given ample size and spacing. The numerals share the same rounded, weighty construction, supporting cohesive branding and headline use alongside the letters.
