A heavy, compact sans with squared proportions softened by broadly rounded corners. Strokes are consistently thick with modest contrast, producing dense counters and a strong, poster-like color on the page. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and terminals, while joins stay blunt and stable, giving the forms a sturdy, machined feel. The lowercase follows a single-storey, geometric construction and the numerals are wide and weighty with simple, closed shapes.
Best suited to headlines, banners, posters, and branding systems that need high-impact, condensed visual mass without sharp edges. It also fits sports and industrial-themed graphics, packaging callouts, and interface labels where strong presence and quick recognition are priorities.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a friendly edge from the rounded geometry. It reads as contemporary and utilitarian, suggesting strength, impact, and straightforward messaging rather than delicacy or refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a controlled, geometric softness—combining blunt, efficient construction with rounded corners for a more approachable, modern feel.
At large sizes the tight counters and compact apertures add punch and help create a solid typographic block, but they can also make interior spaces feel crowded in long passages. The rounded-rectangle construction is especially apparent in bowls and shoulders, which keeps the texture uniform across mixed-case settings.
