A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with broad, uniform strokes and softly squared corners throughout. Curves tend to resolve into superelliptical bowls and counters, giving letters a compact, blocklike silhouette rather than a geometric circular one. Apertures are generally small, counters are tight, and joins are simplified for a dense, high-impact texture. Uppercase forms read wide and stable, while lowercase maintains a sturdy rhythm with short extenders and a compact footprint.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where strong presence and immediate legibility at larger sizes are needed. It works well for branding, packaging, signage, and title treatments that benefit from a bold, friendly block aesthetic. For longer passages, its tight counters and dense color suggest using generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is assertive yet approachable: chunky shapes and softened corners produce a friendly, retro display feel rather than a sharp industrial one. Its dense silhouettes and tight counters create a loud, poster-like voice with a playful, slightly arcade or sports-signage energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a softened, rounded-rectangle construction—combining stout, simplified forms with approachable corners to create a distinctive display voice that stays clean and sans in structure.
The numerals match the same squared-round construction, with compact internal spaces and strong, even weight. In text lines, the font builds a dark, continuous color with minimal sparkle, emphasizing mass and presence over delicacy.
