A heavy, compact sans with broadly rounded corners and squarish, superellipse-like curves. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and a consistent, sturdy rhythm across the set. Counters tend to be tight and rectangular-oval in feel, giving letters a dense, poster-ready texture. Terminals are mostly flat with softened corners, and joins read clean and blunt, emphasizing solidity over delicacy.
Best suited to short-to-medium setting where impact is the priority: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and bold UI or wayfinding labels. The dense, rounded forms hold up well in high-contrast contexts and create strong, readable silhouettes at display sizes.
The overall tone is bold and approachable: assertive enough for impact, but softened by rounded geometry that keeps it from feeling harsh. It suggests contemporary, no-nonsense communication with a friendly, sporty energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a contemporary, geometric softness—combining high visual weight and compact proportions with rounded corners for approachability. It prioritizes punchy presence and uniformity over fine detail, making it a practical choice for bold, modern messaging.
The glyphs favor compact internal space (notably in round letters and numerals), which increases perceived weight and makes the silhouette do most of the work. Curved characters lean toward squared bowls rather than perfect circles, producing a cohesive, “rounded-rectangle” personality and strong word-shape at large sizes.
