A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and large interior counters that keep forms open at display sizes. Curves are smoothly drawn and broadly circular, paired with flat, squared terminals that give the shapes a blocky, poster-ready feel. Joins are solid and uncomplicated, with consistent stroke thickness and minimal modulation; bowls and shoulders stay full and generous. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” a plain, straight “t,” and a robust, geometric overall construction that reads clearly even when tightly set.
Best suited to headlines and short, impactful copy where weight and roundness can carry the visual hierarchy—posters, storefront or event signage, product packaging, and bold brand lockups. It can also work for UI labels or badges when used sparingly and with adequate spacing to prevent dense blocks of text.
The tone is bold and upbeat, balancing friendliness from the rounded curves with assertiveness from the dense, sturdy silhouettes. It feels contemporary and accessible, with a sporty, headline-forward energy that draws attention without looking fussy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a friendly, rounded voice—combining simple geometric construction and sturdy shapes for clear, attention-grabbing display typography.
Numerals are wide and weighty with large counters (notably in 6, 8, and 9), supporting strong legibility in short numeric strings. The overall color on the page is dark and even, producing a confident typographic “wall” suitable for prominent messaging.
