A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a superelliptic construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and counters tend to be compact, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Terminals are blunt and softly squared rather than sharply cut, with generous corner rounding that keeps the forms approachable despite the weight. Overall spacing appears tight-to-moderate, and the letterforms favor simple, sturdy geometry over delicate detail.
Best suited to display settings where impact and immediacy matter: headlines, posters, logos, storefront or event signage, and bold packaging. Its dense color and compact counters make it most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded geometry and strong silhouettes can read cleanly.
The tone is bold and assertive with a nostalgic, poster-like energy. Rounded corners and chunky shapes give it a friendly, sporty character that reads as straightforward and emphatic rather than refined or formal.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with approachable, rounded geometry—combining sturdy, simplified shapes and compact counters to create a distinctive, high-visibility display voice.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably the “a”) and simplified joins that reinforce the geometric, block-driven rhythm. Numerals are equally weighty and built for presence, matching the letters with similar rounded-rectangle logic and compact interior spaces.
