A heavy, wide sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with smooth curves that transition into flat-ish terminals, producing a sturdy, block-like silhouette. Counters are compact and often squared-off, and several joins show subtle corner shaping that reads like small ink-trap hints at large sizes. The rhythm is tight and dense, with strong horizontal presence and simplified, geometric details that keep the texture uniform in display settings.
Best suited to display typography where impact and readability at large sizes matter: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. The wide, dense texture also works well for short, emphatic messaging in digital banners or social graphics where a strong typographic voice is needed.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a friendly softness from the rounded geometry. It evokes retro athletic and headline typography—confident, slightly playful, and built to grab attention. The letterforms feel engineered and punchy rather than delicate or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a friendly geometric voice—combining wide proportions and heavy strokes with superellipse rounding to stay approachable. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and consistent typographic color for high-impact, modern-retro display use.
Uppercase forms are especially monolithic, with broad bowls and sturdy stems; the lowercase maintains similarly weighty proportions with simple, geometric shapes. Numerals are thick and attention-getting, with rounded contours that match the alphabet and maintain consistent color across a line of text.
