A heavy, blocky sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with softly squared corners and broad, superellipse-style curves. Counters are small and tightly enclosed, giving the face a dense, high-impact color and strong silhouette. Terminals are blunt and mostly horizontal/vertical, with minimal modulation and a consistent, engineered rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase shows simplified forms (single-storey a and g) and compact joins, while numerals are sturdy and signage-like with tight apertures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where maximum impact is needed. It works well for sports or entertainment graphics, punchy logotypes, packaging callouts, and bold UI/label moments where large sizes preserve the small counters and tight apertures.
The overall tone is bold and extroverted, reading as playful but forceful. Its rounded corners keep it friendly while the dense shapes and tight counters add a tough, sporty attitude with a retro display feel.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that combines rounded-rectangle construction with compact counters to create a dense, confident texture. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a friendly-but-tough personality for attention-grabbing titles and brand marks.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and the internal white spaces are restrained, which boosts impact but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The design emphasizes silhouette recognition over interior detail, making it feel especially strong in all-caps and short words.
