A heavy, soft-cornered sans with a squarish, superellipse-driven construction. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness and terminate in rounded-rectangle ends, producing broad counters and sturdy, compact silhouettes. Curves are flattened rather than fully circular, and joins stay clean and geometric, giving letters a machined, modular feel while remaining approachable. The lowercase is simple and built for impact, with rounded bowls and short, sturdy terminals that keep texture dense in headlines.
Best suited to short, high-contrast text such as headlines, posters, and punchy brand statements where the thick, rounded geometry can carry personality. It also works well for logos, packaging, and labels that need a sturdy, modern look with softened edges.
The overall tone is confident and energetic, mixing industrial solidity with friendly rounded edges. It reads as sporty and contemporary with a mild retro signage flavor, making it feel loud, straightforward, and upbeat rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a geometric, soft-cornered voice—prioritizing clarity and punch in display applications while maintaining an approachable, contemporary feel.
The font’s distinctive character comes from its squared curves and generous corner radii, which keep dense settings from feeling sharp. Numerals and capitals share the same blocky geometry, reinforcing a consistent, high-impact rhythm in display sizes.
