A compact, heavy sans with broadly rounded corners and superelliptical geometry. Curves feel squarish rather than purely circular, and the overall construction favors sturdy verticals, short joins, and large, closed counters. The lowercase is compact with a single-storey “a,” a simple “g,” and a fairly straight, slab-like rhythm in stems and arches; the “t” has a broad, blunt crossbar and the “r” stays short and tight. Numerals are bold and simplified, with especially solid “8” and a rounded, weighty “0,” reinforcing the dense, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where strong presence and quick recognition matter, such as posters, sports or entertainment branding, packaging, and bold identity marks. It can also work for short, large-size callouts and signage where its compact, rounded forms maintain clarity and a cohesive, impactful texture.
The tone is assertive and high-impact while staying approachable due to the softened corners and rounded inner shapes. It reads as energetic and contemporary with a subtle retro, athletic sign-painting feel—more “bold statement” than “quiet utility.”
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a friendly, rounded-rectangle personality, balancing toughness and approachability. Its simplified, compact shapes and distinctive squarish curves suggest a focus on branding and display impact rather than delicate typographic nuance.
The spacing and proportions create a dark, even typographic color that holds together well in large blocks of text. The squarish rounds (notably in C, G, O, S, and the bowls of B/P/R) give it a distinctive, branded silhouette, while the compact lowercase shapes keep wordforms tight and punchy.
