A heavy, rounded sans with a superellipse construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, and terminals are broadly cut with softened corners. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with compact apertures and generous interior radii that keep shapes open enough at display sizes. Uppercase forms are wide and blocky (notably E/F/T with thick arms), while lowercase shows a tall, sturdy build with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a compact s. Figures are similarly squarish and robust, with simplified, punchy silhouettes that emphasize even color and strong presence.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and short-form messaging where the rounded blockiness can read clearly and project personality. It also fits branding, packaging, labels, and wayfinding/signage applications that benefit from a sturdy, friendly geometric voice.
The overall tone is upbeat and approachable, combining athletic, logo-like punch with a toy-like softness from the rounded geometry. Its thick, steady rhythm feels contemporary and confident rather than refined or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft-edged, geometric system—pairing a strong, ink-heavy footprint with rounded-rectangle construction for a modern, approachable display identity.
Counters tend toward rectangular/squircle shapes (especially in O, D, P, R, 0, 8, 9), creating a consistent, modular texture across words. The i/j dots are round and prominent, reinforcing the friendly, graphic character.
