A heavy, block-driven sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly radiused corners throughout. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls and squarish counters, giving letters a sturdy, machined feel rather than a purely circular geometry. Strokes are consistently thick with modest modulation, terminals are blunt, and interior apertures stay relatively tight, creating dense word shapes. The lowercase shows single-storey forms and short ascenders/descenders, while numerals follow the same rounded-rect rhythm with compact openings.
Best suited for large-scale typography such as posters, headlines, logos, product packaging, and sports or event graphics where weight and presence are needed. It can also work for labels, signage, and short UI callouts when set with generous spacing and sufficient size to preserve counter readability.
The overall tone is loud, confident, and workmanlike, with a retro athletic and packaging-forward attitude. Its chunky silhouettes and softened corners keep it approachable while still feeling assertive and utilitarian.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a consistent rounded-rectangle motif, balancing toughness and friendliness. The intent appears to be a modernized, geometric display sans that stays highly recognizable in dense, bold wordmarks.
At smaller sizes the tight counters and heavy joins may reduce internal clarity, but at display scales the consistent rounded geometry reads cleanly and cohesively. The family’s look is driven more by silhouette and corner radius than by fine detail, making it effective in bold, high-contrast layouts.
