A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Curves are built from smooth, near-circular bowls that read soft at the corners, while joins and terminals stay clean and straightforward. The overall rhythm is solid and even, with minimal stroke modulation and an emphasis on wide, stable shapes that hold up at large sizes. Numerals match the letterforms with generous width and simplified, sturdy construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where its mass and width can create impact. It can work well for branding and packaging that want a confident, approachable voice, and for sports or event graphics where bold, stable letterforms are advantageous.
The tone is bold and extroverted, balancing friendliness from the rounded curves with a strong, assertive presence. It carries a sporty, poster-like energy with a slightly retro feel, making it attention-grabbing without becoming fussy or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visibility and a friendly, modern display character through rounded geometry and simplified shapes. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent weight to create a cohesive, high-impact reading experience at larger sizes.
The design favors large silhouettes over fine detail, so counters and apertures can appear tight in the heaviest areas. Round letters like O/C/G feel especially full and weighty, giving text a dense, headline-forward texture.
