A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with clean joins and minimal modulation, creating dense, compact counters and a sturdy overall texture. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) read as squarish superellipses, while verticals and horizontals stay crisp and straight, giving the design a controlled, engineered rhythm. Lowercase forms are simple and robust, with single-story a and g, a short-armed t, and a utilitarian, narrow f; figures are similarly blocky with open, easy-to-spot shapes.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and short UI or signage labels where boldness and quick recognition matter. It can also work for brief text blocks when a strong, compact typographic color is desired, though its density suggests using generous leading and sizing for comfort.
The tone is assertive and straightforward, combining a strong, sporty presence with approachable rounded edges. It feels contemporary and utilitarian rather than decorative, projecting clarity and confidence in loud, high-visibility settings.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a disciplined, rounded-geometry system that stays friendly while remaining firm and highly legible. The simplified lowercase and superelliptical curves suggest an emphasis on consistency, reproduction reliability, and strong silhouette recognition in branding-oriented typography.
Spacing appears on the tight-to-normal side in text, producing a solid, poster-like color. The rounded terminals and squared curves keep shapes consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping the font maintain cohesion at larger sizes where its geometry is most apparent.
