A heavy, wide sans with rounded, geometric construction and softened corners. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with broad bowls and compact counters that keep the texture dense at larger sizes. Terminals are blunt and squared-off, while curves stay smooth and circular, creating a clean, machined feel rather than a brushy or humanist one. The lowercase is squat and sturdy with simple, single-storey forms, and the numerals are wide with prominent horizontal emphasis in figures like 3, 5, and 9.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-format messaging where its width and weight can deliver impact. It also fits sports and leisure branding, packaging, and bold UI moments (such as titles, badges, and buttons) where a friendly but forceful voice is needed.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a friendly, game-like toughness. Its wide stance and rounded geometry give it a retro-sport flavor that feels confident and attention-grabbing without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a wide, rounded geometric skeleton—optimized for display use where clarity and punch matter more than delicate detail. Its softened corners and consistent stroke behavior suggest a goal of being bold and approachable rather than severe.
Spacing reads intentionally open for such a heavy build, helping letters remain distinguishable in big headlines. The design leans on strong horizontals and generous curves, producing a stable, blocky rhythm across all-caps and mixed-case settings.
