A heavy, block-oriented sans with rounded-rectangle construction and soft corner radii throughout. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark letterforms and a sturdy rhythm. Counters tend to be compact and squarish (notably in O, D, P, R), with apertures kept relatively tight; curves read as superelliptic rather than purely circular. Terminals are blunt and clean, and many shapes show slightly condensed internal space that emphasizes solidity and impact.
Best suited to display settings where weight and presence are assets: headlines, posters, big typographic statements, packaging, and short-form signage. It also fits brand marks and promotional graphics that need a compact, high-impact sans with friendly rounding.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic while staying approachable thanks to the rounded geometry. It suggests utilitarian strength—like labeling, equipment, or athletic branding—without feeling sharp or aggressive. The look leans contemporary with a subtle retro poster sensibility driven by its chunky, rounded forms.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a stable, geometric voice, using rounded-rectangle forms to balance toughness with approachability. It prioritizes bold readability and a consistent, utilitarian rhythm for prominent, attention-grabbing typography.
In text, the strong color and tight counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the rounded corners and geometric construction become more apparent. Numerals match the same sturdy build, with simple, highly legible silhouettes intended for quick recognition.
