A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a compact, tightly built interior space. Strokes are uniform and robust, with smooth curves and softly squared joins that give letters a chunky, sculpted feel. Round glyphs (O, C, G) read as wide ovals with small counters, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) keep a firm, rectangular stance. Terminals are generally flat and blunt, and overall spacing appears sturdy and poster-oriented, favoring solid silhouettes over delicate detail.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, signage, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for subheads or callouts where a dense, friendly weight is needed, but its compact counters suggest avoiding very small sizes or long passages where openness is critical.
The tone is bold and upbeat, combining a friendly softness with assertive mass. Its rounded geometry and thick shapes evoke a sporty, retro display mood—approachable rather than technical, and energetic without feeling chaotic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a warm, rounded geometric voice—prioritizing strong silhouettes, quick recognition, and a cohesive, sporty display rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The lowercase maintains strong presence with a tall x-height and simplified, single-storey-style construction where applicable, helping it stay dense and readable at large sizes. Numerals share the same wide, heavy rhythm; curved figures like 6/8/9 are especially compact in their counters, reinforcing the font’s solid, impactful texture in text blocks.
