A heavy, geometric sans with broad, compact proportions and strongly rounded corners that lean toward a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction. Strokes are monolinear with minimal contrast, terminals are blunt, and curves stay taut rather than airy. Counters are relatively small for the weight, with smooth, consistent rounding in bowls and shoulders, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. Numerals and caps share the same sturdy, uniform color, while lowercase forms keep simple, single-storey shapes and sturdy verticals for a straightforward rhythm.
Best suited for short-to-medium display text where weight and rounded geometry can do the work: headlines, posters, bold branding systems, packaging, and attention-oriented signage. It can also serve as a punchy UI or social graphic headline face when used with comfortable spacing and moderate sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and high-impact, but softened by generous rounding that makes it feel approachable rather than aggressive. It reads as contemporary and energetic, with a slightly playful, sports-and-signage attitude that suits attention-grabbing headlines.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a clean geometric structure, using rounded-rectangle forms to balance strength and friendliness. Its consistent, blunt construction suggests an intention to remain legible and cohesive in bold, high-contrast applications.
The design’s tight interior spaces and thick joins create a strong silhouette at display sizes, while the rounded geometry keeps edges from feeling harsh. Wide, stable curves in letters like C, G, O, and S reinforce a consistent superelliptical theme across the set.
