A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared counters. Curves are broadly drawn and corners are generously radiused, producing a superelliptic feel rather than circular bowls. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are blunt or slightly softened for a sturdy, poster-ready silhouette. The lowercase is compact with broad shoulders and short joins, while numerals are similarly robust with large interior shapes and simplified geometry for strong fill and presence.
Best suited for headlines, banners, posters, and branding where maximum impact is needed. The sturdy, rounded forms also work well for packaging, labels, and signage that benefits from a friendly but assertive voice. In longer passages it will feel heavy, but short bursts of text remain clear and highly attention-grabbing.
The overall tone is bold and confident, with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It reads as energetic and utilitarian at once—suggesting sports, packaging, and attention-grabbing signage rather than delicate or formal settings. The chunky shapes give it a slightly retro, display-oriented personality.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, modern display sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, balancing toughness with approachability. The emphasis is on bold silhouette, consistent rhythm, and high visibility at large sizes.
The glyphs maintain a consistent rounded-rectangular logic across bowls and counters, creating a cohesive rhythm in text. Wide apertures and large counters help preserve legibility despite the dense stroke weight, and the forms stay visually stable in long lines of all-caps and mixed-case sample text.
