A heavy, rounded sans with a squarish, superellipse construction: straight-sided stems and bowls are blended into broad curves with consistently softened corners. Strokes feel largely uniform in thickness, creating a solid, poster-like color on the page. Counters are compact and often rectangular/rounded-rect in feel (notably in O/o, B, P, R, 8), while apertures are generally tight, emphasizing mass and stability. Terminals are blunt and clean, and diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are sturdy with minimal contrast, keeping the overall rhythm dense and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, branding, and short statements where strong presence and a friendly geometric character are desirable. It performs well on posters, packaging, signage, sports or event graphics, and UI moments that need bold, button-like emphasis. For long-form reading, it’s more effective in short bursts due to its dense, heavy texture.
The tone is bold and assertive with a friendly softness, mixing a contemporary geometric feel with a retro, athletic sensibility. Its rounded-rectangle shapes read as approachable and slightly playful, while the heavy weight communicates impact and confidence. The overall voice suits attention-grabbing, energetic messaging rather than quiet or delicate typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a softened geometric voice: a sturdy, rounded-rectangle construction that feels modern, approachable, and highly graphic. Its simplified shapes and tight counters prioritize strong silhouette recognition and consistent, brandable forms across letters and numerals.
The uppercase set appears particularly block-forward and wide, with large, simplified forms and minimal interior detail. Lowercase retains the same squarish rounding and compact counters, giving text a cohesive, chunky texture in paragraphs. Numerals match the letterforms closely, with similarly enclosed, rounded-rect counters and a strong, uniform presence.
