A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry and softened corners throughout. Curves are squarish rather than circular, giving bowls and counters a compact, engineered feel; the O/0 are rounded-rect forms with relatively small, inset counters. Stroke endings are clean and flat, with minimal modulation, and the overall rhythm is dense and uniform, producing strong color in headlines. Lowercase forms keep broad shoulders and sturdy stems, while the numerals match the same chunky, squared-round construction for consistent texture across mixed settings.
Best suited for display work where strong presence and quick recognition matter: posters, punchy headlines, branding and logotypes, packaging, and attention-grabbing UI labels. It also fits sports, industrial, and retro-themed graphics where a compact, engineered look is desired.
The tone is loud, confident, and slightly playful—more “built” than “drawn.” Its squarish rounding and dense mass suggest sporty branding, arcade/retro influence, and utilitarian signage energy while staying friendly due to the softened corners.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a consistent squared-round geometry, combining the firmness of a blocky sans with approachable rounded corners. It prioritizes bold silhouette clarity and a cohesive, modular feel across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Counters tend to be tight, especially in B, 8, and 9, which boosts impact but can reduce openness at smaller sizes. The rounded-rect construction is consistent across letters and figures, making it well-suited to bold, geometric typographic systems.
