A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly squared counters. Strokes are thick and even, with gentle corner rounding that keeps the silhouette soft while remaining strongly geometric. Curves on letters like O/C/G are superellipse-like rather than circular, and many joins show small cut-ins or notch-like shaping that reads as ink-trap-inspired detailing. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with occasional angled cuts in diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y and the 7) that add a slightly engineered, display-oriented rhythm. Numerals are wide and sturdy, with squared bowls and tight apertures that maintain a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display work where its dense, rounded-block shapes can project impact—such as posters, sports and team graphics, bold packaging, labels, and wayfinding or storefront signage. It can work for short bursts of copy, but the tight counters suggest avoiding very small sizes or long passages.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, combining utilitarian signage strength with a playful, retro athletic feel. Rounded corners soften the aggression of the weight, while the squared geometry and tight counters keep it loud and attention-grabbing.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a friendly geometric voice: squared, superellipse-like forms for consistency and strength, paired with corner rounding and subtle trap-like cut-ins to keep bold shapes readable and lively.
The design’s tight apertures and dense black shapes create strong presence at large sizes, while the small cut-ins at joins can help keep interior spaces from clogging in bold settings. Uppercase forms feel especially poster-ready, and the lowercase stays straightforward and sturdy with minimal calligraphic influence.
