A heavy, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves are squared-off into smooth superellipse corners, giving bowls and counters a compact, cushiony feel, while strokes stay firm and largely uniform in weight. Letterforms lean on simple geometry with broad horizontal proportions, short joins, and tightly enclosed apertures; counters in forms like O, e, and 8 read as rounded slots rather than open circles. Diacritics aren’t shown, but dots and small interior cutouts appear as small, rounded rectangles, reinforcing the consistent soft-cornered logic across the set.
Best suited to short, prominent text where impact is the priority: branding marks, sports or esports graphics, posters, packaging callouts, and bold UI labels. It also works for attention-grabbing editorial headers, but the tight apertures and dense texture suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is loud, friendly, and energetic—more “headline punch” than quiet neutrality. Its soft corners keep the weight from feeling aggressive, while the squared geometry adds a sporty, game-like confidence that reads well at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a soft, approachable edge. By building letters from rounded rectangles and compact counters, it aims for a distinctive, modern-display feel that stays legible and stable under heavy weight.
The typeface maintains a consistent rounded-rect motif across straight, diagonal, and curved elements, which creates a cohesive texture in dense settings. Compact apertures and enclosed counters contribute to a sturdy, poster-like color, especially in all-caps and numerals.
