A heavy, wide sans with rounded geometry and compact internal spaces. Curves are smooth and full, with terminals that feel softly squared rather than sharp, giving the outlines a molded, blocky silhouette. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be tight, which increases density and impact, especially in the uppercases. The lowercase shows strong, simple forms with a tall body and minimal modulation, producing an even rhythm and a solid texture in paragraphs and headlines.
Best suited to bold headlines, poster typography, and brand marks where width and mass help establish presence quickly. It also works well for packaging, sports or lifestyle graphics, and short UI/wayfinding phrases where a sturdy, friendly sans is needed. For longer copy, increased spacing and comfortable line height will help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, blending a utilitarian, athletic presence with a slightly retro warmth. Its chunky proportions read as confident and attention-grabbing, while the rounded shaping keeps it from feeling aggressive. The result is a friendly display voice that still carries authority.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through wide proportions and rounded, simplified construction, creating a strong display sans that feels approachable rather than severe. It emphasizes uniform, sturdy shapes and dense letterforms for high visibility in advertising and branding contexts.
At text sizes the tight counters and closed apertures can make interior detail feel compact, so it benefits from generous tracking and clean backgrounds. Numerals appear robust and built for emphasis, matching the weight and width of the letterforms for consistent color across mixed content.
