A heavy, rounded-rectangle display sans with compact internal counters and a pronounced, squat silhouette. Strokes are broadly even with softened corners and subtly flattened curves, giving letters a molded, superelliptical feel rather than purely circular geometry. Many glyphs show small horizontal notches or cut-ins within bowls and cross-strokes, creating a slightly segmented, stencil-like rhythm that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified with short extenders and a robust baseline, while figures are thick, stable, and highly graphic.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, and punchy brand marks where its chunky proportions and rounded geometry can be appreciated. It also fits sports and entertainment graphics, packaging, and bold UI headers where a friendly-but-assertive voice is needed. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous tracking help maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels bold, retro, and energetic, with a friendly softness from the rounded construction. The repeated internal cut details add a playful, engineered character that reads as sporty and attention-seeking rather than formal or literary.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a soft-edged, geometric silhouette and a signature set of internal cuts that add texture without introducing ornamentation. The goal appears to be a distinctive, highly brandable display sans that remains cohesive across letters and numerals.
At text sizes the dense counters and interior cut-ins can close up, so the face reads best when given room to breathe. The distinctive interior notches are a primary identifying feature and will strongly imprint on headlines and short phrases.
