A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with squared proportions and softened corners. Strokes are consistently thick and uniform, with compact internal counters and broadly flattened curves that read as superelliptical rather than circular. Several glyphs show small squared cut-ins/notches at joins and terminals, adding a slightly modular, engineered texture. The lowercase maintains a tall x-height and sturdy shapes, while capitals and numerals keep a wide, blocky footprint and steady rhythm in lines of text.
Best suited for high-impact display work such as headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing subheads. Its wide, blocky forms and rounded corners make it effective for sports branding, product packaging, and bold signage where legibility and presence matter more than a delicate reading texture. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, combining friendly rounded corners with a tough, industrial presence. It evokes athletic signage and retro display lettering, projecting confidence and durability. The small notch details add a utilitarian, manufactured feel that keeps it from reading purely soft or playful.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a compact, rounded-rect geometry that stays consistent across the alphabet. The cut-in/notch details appear intended to add character and a mechanical edge while preserving simple, sturdy silhouettes for branding and display applications.
The typeface holds up best at display sizes where the compact counters and interior apertures remain clear. The distinct, squared counter shapes and the notch-like cut-ins can create a strong texture in paragraphs, giving lines a dense, poster-like color.
